What is an example of pulp fiction in literature?

Answer 1

One example of literary pulp fiction is the Modesty Blaise series written by Peter O'Donnell. Blaise is the retired leader of the crime ring known as The Network. Orphaned at a young age and forced to fend for herself in Europe and the Middle East, Modesty is fiercely independent. Willie Garvin, a master knife-man whom she found and brought into The Network, is her closest ally. Her connections to British Intelligence through Sir Gerald Tarrant often result in the duo coming out of retirement. Their adventures take them around the world and are generally based on philanthropic, not mercenary, motives. Some titles in the Modesty Blaise series include I, Lucifer, Sabre Tooth, A Taste for Death, and The Impossible Virgin. Coincidentally, in the movie Pulp Fiction, it is a Modesty Blaise book that Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta) is reading in the bathrooms at the coffee shop and at Butch's apartment.
