Overview: Langdon Richard Jones was born in March 1942 in Dover, Kent, U.K. He was a professional musician, editor and short fiction author. As an author, he was strongly associated with New Worlds during its “New-Wave” period both as contributor—he published most of his sf stories there, beginning with “Stormwater Tunnel” in the July/August 1964 issue—and in various editorial capacities including assistant editor and (for four issues April-July 1969) editor.
Jones’ wide taste as an editor was demonstrated in The New SF: An Original Anthology of Modern Speculative Fiction, a key work of the New Wave; he also collaborated with Michael Moorcock in assembling The Nature of the Catastrophe, which contained a number of Jerry Cornelius stories from New Worlds written by Moorcock and others. The first published version of Mervyn Peake’s Titus Alone had been heavily edited because of Peake’s degenerative illness, and Jones was responsible for the reconstruction work resulting in the posthumous 1970 publication of the definitive version of the book.
Jones’ most memorable work, most of it experimental in form and characterized by a strongly angular narrative style, was assembled as The Eye of the Lens.
Langdon Richard Jones died in September 2021 in Bracknell, Berkshire, U.K.
