(I first typed "lad", which is right too.) He's well aware that he's not the typical age or background to be doing this, and how he's following the path of an earlier generation.

There are a lot of noir pastiches out there becuase people like "leggy dames" or big tough guys. I don't think this book is part of that. I think this is a genuinely well written and drawn noir story that has a good mystery, interesting characters and great insight into a generation that noir doesn't usually cover. I wish Brubaker would write more of these. Next to Sleeper I think this is the best thing Brubaker has ever written.
