I loved Gnomom. It's not complexity or depth that bothers me in Harrison's work, it's the apparent lack of it, just meandering weirdness.

I haven't read Harrison, but that sounds a lot like Rudy Rucker, who I found infuriating for having all of the trappings of depth and sophistication but no actual substance.
