The wiggle words in this statement are "a lot." It is equally
true that "a lot" of the current hard boiled protagonists are
as heroic and as far from loser land as their predecessors.
IMO, the self acknowledged losers are still a minority voice,
but maybe that reflects my reading choices more than it
reflects the overall picture.
