- 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)

- Првото драмско дело на Загорка е едночинката „Што умее жената“, изведена во 1901 година во Хрватското народно казалиште, која од тогашната унгарско-германска критика било дочекано на нож. Во тоа време, мошне влијателниот критичар Ото Краус ќе напише: „Сите нека запаметат, дека се што оваа авторка пишува, што напишала и што ќе има дрскост да напише, е и останува за сите времиња и за сите генерации-шунд литература за краварки.“ - Премин портал by Irena Kacarski-Kimova

- ऐसी स्थिति में हिंदी का लेखक जनता से कटकर रह गया है और आम पाठक फुटपाथ पर बिकनेवाला लुगदी साहित्य पढ़ने के लिए विवश है जिसकी लाखों प्रतियाँ बिकती हैं और यह एक मुनाफ़े का कारोबार बना हुआ है. स्तरीय साहित्य का स्थान लुगदी साहित्य ने ले लिया है. क्योंकि पाठकों को सहज रूप से कम कीमत पर वही साहित्य उपलब्ध है.
