Re: [bomp] Directors writing fiction

[jumpinginthenight <jumpinginthenight@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ohh, wrong use of "pulp novel." Pulp novel means the full-length (30,000 word?) fiction that appeared in 1930s & '40s newsstand magazines printed on cheap pulpwood. They were pretty much dead by the '50s, killed by paperbacks as well as TV & comic books [which all used the same genres: Westerns, mystery, war, adventure, masked avengers, science fiction].  
  just cause some hit movie came along doesn't mean we suddenly throw out 70 years of accepted definition.

a fine fiction writer unless you include sayles who authored several 
noteworthy leftish short stories in the late 60's (or a little later)

Orson Welles' "Mr. Arkadin" (the book) is a fun little 50s pulp novel, it's actually better than the (miscast) film





We talk and talk until my head explodes

I turn on the news and my body froze

The braying sheep on my tv screen

Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
