While I certainly credit him for his work in preserving these
older works, his questionable view on the death of the
hardboiled genre makes me wonder if this colors his
editorialship of said anthologies...so newer works that
*could* be considered apt and completely appropriate
contributions to these collections *won't* be, because - in
his mind - they couldn't possibly be hardboiled.
