Indeed. I've read all his novels (even the recent, not particularly good "Playback") and several of his stories, as well as the essay "The Simple Art of Murder." I certainly prefer his elegantly cynical style to what little I've seen of the bestselling Mickey Spillane.
(Have you read "The Night He Cried" by Fritz Leiber? It was in the first of Pohl's "Star Science Fiction Stories" paperbacks. It's a pretty hilarious spoof of Spillane.)
