I certainly agree with that.  My comments were strictly aimed at Ellison's
fiction.  A friend gave me a copy of a book of his short stories, saying
"Here's his least depressing stuff" (She really liked Ellison), and they
were as morbid as the rest of his stuff that I dislike.  However, I did
enjoy his introductions to the stories, and I have liked his nonfiction,
such as his articles about his misadventures in TV land.
