And the title of the one book of his I remember reading leapt to mind immediately: The Worm Ouroboros. I can't give a review, though, it was at least 45 years ago or more that I read it, and I remember nothing about it except the cover art of the little pocket-sized paperback copy I had back then. (And may still have, packed away in one my innumerable dusty boxes of old books...)

I'm sure I liked it quite well at the time - but it's not the type of book I would get into today.
