- Definition(s)
- 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

- Definition(s)
- I pulp magazine (o pulp fiction) erano delle economiche riviste di racconti che ebbero molto successo tra il 1920 e il 1950. Spesso si fa riferimento a loro chiamandole semplicemente "pulp".
Il nome "pulp" deriva dalla carta con cui venivano stampate queste riviste, ottenuta dalla polpa dell'albero e quindi di qualità più scadente rispetto a quella ottenuta dal resto del tronco. Oltre ad essere più ruvida e spessa, aveva anche la caratteristica di ingiallire in breve tempo. Anche se molti rispettavano gli scrittori che scrivevano per i pulp, questi giornali sono stati ricordati principalmente per le loro storie sfacciate, violente e qualche volta oscene, e per le loro copertine sexy o raccapriccianti. Le copertine, in particolare, erano famose per i disegni di ragazze seminude, in genere in attesa di essere salvate dall'eroe di turno.

- Avventurieri e Femme Fatale. Erano i protagonisti delle letteratura pulp, un mondo fatto di carta scadente, carne e sangue, in cui si mescolavano il poliziesco, il fantascientifico, il fantasy, il western, l'erotico, l'horror e il noir. - Sky by Silvia Carli
- Il titolo del film, alla sua uscita, aveva destato interesse per il richiamo esplicito (Tarantino apre sceneggiatura e film con la definizione dell'American Heritage Dictionary del termine ) alla cosiddetta letteratura pulp, ovvero a quel genere popolare di riviste e libercoli diffusisi negli anni '20-'40, stampati su carta scadente (in gergo appunto pulp) e contenenti materiale letterario di serie B - Digilander by Silvia Carli

- Его книги - это не бульварное чтиво, как считают многие, а отличная стилизация, которую легко читать. - http://www.rollingstone.ru/ by Oleksiy Markunin
- Многие называют "психологическая драма". Но я думаю, что они правы на 80%. Больше придерживаюсь хорошего понятия, которое почему-то презирают российские писатели — бульварное чтиво. А мне оно нравится. Вы можете мою книгу забыть в метро или автобусе, или в гостях. Потом обнаружить ее у друга и продолжить чтение с тем же удовольствием. - http://www.vsluh.ru by Oleksiy Markunin
- прочем, этот перелом произошел не на пустом месте: его истоки надо искать на рубеже 80-90-х годов, поднявших на поверхность широчайший спектр маргинальной литературы. В те годы желтая пресса и всевозможное бульварное чтиво плотным потоком заполонили лотки, карманы и головы наших соотечественников. И вполне закономерно такая литература победила «большую». Мужик с базара несет не Белинского и Гоголя, а похождения генерала глупого. Главное, чтобы в лихо закрученном сюжете было побольше пикантных подробностей, а красоты стиля пусть останутся на откуп недобитым шоковой терапией ителлигентам. - http://sqd.ru by Oleksiy Markunin
