English term
pulp fiction
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)
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.)
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)

letteratura pulp
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)
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)
sono d'accordo con te,quasi tutti sanno cos'è il pulp e qui il riferimento al tipo di carta mi pare approriato. Grazie |
