Wow! To welcome the approaching summer season (which isn’t approaching nearly fast enough, if you ask me), the online magazine Slate is spending this week celebrating pulp fiction, both past and present. Stories already available:
● “My Favorite Beach Book: What Scott Turow, Joyce Carol Oates, and Michael Connelly Read on Vacation”
● “Requiem for Pulp Fiction: The Bygone Days of Seedy Literature,” by Bryan Curtis
● “Pulp Valentine: Patricia Highsmith’s Erotic Lesbian Thriller,” by Terry Castle
● “Pulp Valentine: Donald Westlake’s Parker Novels Are a Genre of Their Own,” by John Banville
● “Purloined Poe: Fact Is Invading Fiction,” by Christopher Benfey
● “Pulp Valentine: Erskine Caldwell’s Lurid Vision of the American South,” by Dwight Garner
Check here for additional essays as the week progresses.
