Very New Wave.  What I read of his I really did not like.  In
particular his "novel" _Galaxies_ was packaged (perhaps not by him)
as a space adventure when in fact it was a meta-novel set of notes
about writing a space adventure.  14 year old me was very non-plussed.

None of which is a personal criticism.  I'm sure he was a nice guy,
and I enjoyed his defense of A. E. Van Vogt.
