I feel that the two are not mutually exclusive.  However and I 
should have explained more, when you do a grand epic novel, 
filled with many characters and not one solid base, I do not 
feel it can be truly hardboiled in the Chandelr, hammett, 
macdonald, macdonald sense.  I hope this explains but let's see 
what others think.
