I think he's better remembered as a fantasy author than for his science fiction at this point. Lankhmar's still got a lot of fans and remains alive through the tabletop roleplaying community. It's unfortunate, but not uncommon for part of an author's work to be ignored over time. Look at George R R Martin, whose own early scifi is largely unknown while Game of Thrones is a household name even after that last season debacle and an unfinished series. A shame, really, since the Tuf Voyaging compilation might be his best work ever. Very Vancian in feel.
