This is the first time I'm hearing of him, what would advice a first time reader of him to start with?
'Deathbird Stories', 'Shatterday' and 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream' are the three collections that are the most representative of his work. Any of those.

Shame. Ellison in his own words:
'My work is foursquare for chaos. I spend my life personally, and my work professionally, keeping the soup boiling. Gadfly is what they call you when you are no longer dangerous; I much prefer troublemaker, malcontent, desperado. I see myself as a combination of Zorro and Jiminy Cricket. My stories go out from here and raise hell. From time to time some denigrator or critic with umbrage will say of my work, 'He only wrote that to shock.' I smile and nod. Precisely.'
