Read his excellent autobiography/memoirs "Experience", great stuff, you'll see him in a different light. I've heard him accused of snobbery, misogyny, and racism, when really, he has it in for everybody in his fiction.
I found I enjoyed his writing a lot with some powerful scenes and themes. The one unsatisfying part of his work that I only really recognised when I read a review of one of his books was the inability to give his characters feelings and identifiable personalities.

Dead Babies is particularly mind stunning
