Oh, it’s a lot. He’s a cantankerous old salt, to be sure.

…And well you should! He’s done some amazing stuff. “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” is perhaps one of the greatest sci-fi works, nay, one of the greatest pieces of fiction I have ever read. And I could say that for a number of his works. Just look for any decent anthology (I’ve got “The Essential Ellison” and it’s pretty definitive, though there are a few things I wish were in there, but ain’t that always the way?) and pick it up. Then read it. A number of times.
