While he is revered as a literary godfather of the crime and noir genres--his contributions including such works \u003ci\u003eDrive\u003c\/i\u003e, now a cult-classic film, and his Lew Griffin series--he is equally respected among speculative fiction practitioners for the work he began publishing in science fiction magazines in the 1960s.
