- 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

- "littérature, roman de gare : que l'on trouve dans les kiosques de gare, de lecture facile." Own research - by ALIAS trad
- Example sentence(s)
- Côté poche, encore moins d'originalité puisque Marc Levy, Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, Mary Higgins Clark et Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt se partagent l'affiche. On appréciera toujours autant la présence de deux Harlequin et d'un SAS dans ce même classement, signe que le poche est bien souvent synonyme de roman de gare (Clark aurait pu nous mettre la puce à l'oreille ceci-dit). - Krinein magazine by ALIAS trad

- Popüler edebiyat, edebiyat okur alanının alta doğru genişlemesine yol açan ve/veya bu alanın açılmasıyla birlikte beliren, genel vasatın beklentilerine/isterlerine cevap verir biçimde kendisini üreten, tüketim mantığına dayalı, edebi metni tüketilebilen bir nesne konumuna indirgeyen modern bir olgu.

- Example sentence(s)
- Okuyucu açısından bakıldığında geçmiş yüzyılda popüler romanın müşterileri, daha ziyade az veya çok okur-yazar olan, öğrenim seviyesi yüksek olmayan, kenar mahalle kahve müdavimleri, kasaba memurları belki daha da önemlisi ev kadınları olmuştur. - Orhan Okay, Edebiyat Okyanus by Özden Arıkan
- Popüler edebiyat dediğimiz şey, yani bugün yığınların önünde kuyruk oluşturduğu kitaplar, hayatı ‘oya’lamak gibi ‘ağır’ bir havayı kaldıramayanların, hayatta oyalanmak gibi hafif havalara kaçanların oyuncaklarıdır. - Nihat Dağlı, Yağmur Dergisi by Özden Arıkan

- Šund - djelo (tekst, film, glazba, slika) bez umjetničkih i moralnih vrijednosti
Izvor: Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika Own research - by eleonora_r
- Example sentence(s)
- Iza pseudonima najčešće se skrivaju pisci koji se boje da bi šund literatura ili trivijalni žanrovi mogli “potrošiti” njihovo autorsko ime. - Moderna vremena info by eleonora_r
- U svom prijedlogu Gavran je šundom proglasio cijele žanrove i to »ljubiće, krimiće, porno-časopise i slično«. Tako bi porez na šund bio prilijepljen i krimićima koji spadaju gotovo u klasike svjetske književnosti, a možda bi se pod »i slično« ugurala i znanstvenofantastična književnost, detektivski i avanturistički romani. Recimo, Goranu Tribusonu bi neka njegova djela konkurirala za društveno priznate nagrade, kao što je nedavno dobio nagradu Fonda Miroslav Krleža, dok bi mu dogodovštine inspektora Banića priskrbile porez na šund - monitor.hr by eleonora_r
- ŠTO JE ŠUND, A ŠTO VRIJEDNA KNJIGA: Neizbježno je pitanje kojim bi se općim kriterijima određivalo što jest šund, a što nije, te tko bi određivao koji će naslovi izazvati sreću ili jad njihovim autorima i izdavačima?

- Den udbredte underholdningslitteratur hvis holdning, menneskefremstilling, komposition og sprogform er banal, skabelonagtig og stereotyp med vægten lagt på handlingsforløbet med "happy ending", hvorfor den kun opfordrer til overfladisk engagement. fremmedordbog - by Mads Grøftehauge
- Example sentence(s)
- Stillet overfor spørgsmålet ”Hvad er triviallitteratur?” vil de fleste højst sandsynligvis svare ”Barbara Cartland” og dermed mene kærlighedsromaner. - Litteratursiden by Mads Grøftehauge
