I am a great appreciator of Elliison's work; as a fiction writer, anthologist, and essayist. His writing style to me, is akin to Vonnegut's. Not that they are similar, but that they are distinctively Theirs. You do not read Ellison or Vonnegut and mistake who you are reading.

I pay respect to him each time I purchase and enjoy his work.

But I am not going to get all gushy until he is dead. I do not think he would really respect the gushiness. And I do not want to get sued.
