BBC Radio made a radio production a couple of years back, with the late Gareth Thomas from Blake's 7 doing the reading.

This was one of the first SF novels I ever read, back in early high school (I would have been about 12 or 13, I think). I've read it many times over the years, and although I'm well aware of its faults (starting with sexism and passing through "about as much scientific accuracy as could be inserted into the eye of a needle without making it any more difficult to thread"), it remains one of my favourite comfort reads.

I haven't read Hothouse for many years, so I may be leaping in the wrong direction, but the suggestion of an influence of Stableford leads me to speculate on a connection with F. Paul Wilson's Healer.

nitpick, in the best rassef tradition

According to the link, while Le Guin citicized Aldiss in that letter, the actual anthology she was refusing to blurb was edited by George Zebrowski.

Did it start out as a short story? I remember a story like the one described, but it was in an anthology. I don't think I read a whole novel...
