            • 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

            • Извън елитарната, в класическия смисъл на думата, и националнозначима литература, или още обозначавана с термина канон, имаме и други литератури, които също по някакъв начин са попаднали под известни критерии за значимост: * булевардна литература. Тази литература е обичана и масово купувана заради своята лесна сдъвкваемост, възприемаемост, основен критерий: да бъде интересно; понякога се използва в смисъла на дамгосващо дадено произведение понятие. * ...

            • Въпросите в анкетата, в същото време, не правят разлика между булевардна литература и литература с някаква стойност, тоест между Даниел Стийл и Томас Пинчън, и за литературата се говори като за "консумирана". - liternet.bg by 4leavedClover
            • Аз лично чета всякакви книги, като може да се каже само, че избягвам криминалните и трилърите, защото се четат на един дъх и после ги забравяш - булевардна литература, която се продава с меки корици, за да я прочетеш и изхвърлиш, не оставяйки нищо в теб. - Якото четене by 4leavedClover
            • След легендарната си заигравка с упадъчната булевардна литература "Pulp Fiction" в началото на 90-те години, която роди нова епоха в авангардното кино и проправи пътеката за тарикати като Гай Ричи, Тарантино се впусна във всякакви експерименти, но дори и абсурдстката комедия за зрители на средна възраст "Джеки Браун" не успя да ме отчая. - ALL.BG by 4leavedClover
