- Novels written for the mass market, intended to be "a good read,"--often exciting, titillating, thrilling. Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality. The earliest ones were the dime novels of the nineteenth century, printed on newsprint (hence "pulp" fiction) and sold for ten cents. Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction. Robert Harris - VirtualSalt
- Example sentence(s)
- At five to twenty-five cents an issue, pulp fiction was a literature accessible to Americans at every income level—often sold at newsstands and drugstores. Until the mid-1950s, pulp fiction was the literature of choice for the reading public, before it was supplanted by comic books and paperbacks. - The Library of Congress-American Memory by
- The pulp fiction era provided a breeding ground for creative talent which would influence all forms of entertainment for decades to come. The hardboiled detective and science fiction genres were created by the freedom that the pulp fiction magazines provided. - Vintage New Media, inc. by
- Pulp fiction was a great avenue to escape the mundane and escape into a world of gangsters and good guys, cowboys and cattlemen, spaceships and star travelers. For a thin dime one could read from the pens of some of the best writers of the era: the era of pulp fiction. - Robert Wheadon by

- Régebben a köznép szórakoztatására szánt, vásári ponyván árult irodalmi alkotások. ÁImoskönyvek, mondák, mesék, betyártörténetek mellett remekművek is kerültek ponyvára (pl.: Petőfi Sándor versei).
Művészileg igénytelen, alacsony színvonalú alkotások, legtöbbször ponyvairodalomregények. Témájuk főleg a bűnüldözés, a kémkedés, valamilyen szentimentális kaland stb. Célja kizárólag a figyelem lekötése izgalmas v. annak szánt cselekménnyel. Káros társ. jelenséggé akkor válik, ha sikerűl kiszorítania az olvasmányok köréből az értékes irodalmat. http://www.kislexikon.hu/ponyvairodalom. - by Attila Kosik

- Palp fikšn (pulp fiction), uobičajeno prevodimo kao petparačke priče, i to je lep izraz koji ništa lepog ne govori o onome što označava. Petparačke, dakle jeftine priče, s pravom bismo mogli osloviti i neotesanima Blic - dodatak - by itchi
- Example sentence(s)
- Ne pišem o Tarantinovom filmu već o ljubavnim romanima koji su se nekada davno prodavali po ceni od pet para. Vreme je prolazilo, novi ljubavni romani su se nizali, sadržina tih romana se menjala samo po imenima glavnih junaka, cena je zbog inflacije rasla, ali su romani koji su i dalje izlazili vredeli isto koliko i na početku. Pet para. - Vukajlija - rečnik slenga by itchi

- U nás sa nálepka populárna literatúra spája s označením braková literatúra, čo je nepochopením princípu veci. - litcentrum.sk by Linda Vakermanova
- Mladý McCartney písal brakovú literatúru
28. septembra 2009 11:15
Nedávno objavená esej mladého Paula McCartneyho spred vyše 50 rokov odhalila túžbu budúceho slávneho člena skupiny Beatles stať sa autorom lacných románov. Paul McCartney svoju úvahu napísal v roku 1953 a odoslal ju do oblastnej literárnej súťaže. - Atlas.sk by Linda Vakermanova
- Znamená to, že miera naznačeného, nedopovedaného, vnútorného rozhoduje o tom, či ide o brakovú, lacnú literatúru alebo o umenie?
Aj to rozdeľuje literatúru na čisto zábavnú, populárnu a umeleckú. Populárna literatúra spraví takmer všetko za čitateľa, je v nej pramálo toho, čo by mohlo zostať ako tvorivé čitateľské pole. - Tasr.sk by Linda Vakermanova

- وفي جميع الحالات، تكون من نوع الروايات الشعبية الرخيصة. ورغم ادعائها بأنها واقعية، فهي بالفعل تتحدث عن أشياء خيالية
