Description

• Title:
  Pulp literature, i.e. Young cannibals, the Neonoir, the School of the Tough guys or Group 13? Controversies about frontiers of a new literary genre
• Creator:
  Firlej, Agnieszka
• Description:
  The paper aims to present pulp as one of the main genres of contemporary Italian literature. This extreme kind of noir was born in the 1990s and immediately gained popularity among readers and caused controversy amid critics: from high and flattering opinions to complete rejection. The author examines the origin of the genre and the story of its development in Italy. She also describes the distinctive qualities of this kind of literature such as dark topics, eclectic form and mixture of languages. In addition, the paper shows various visions of pulp represented by different groups of authors: a serious and uncompromising or a light and amusing way of depicting the violence, inherited from Quentin Tarantino.
