Why we Write Pulp
“Why Do You Write Pulp?” with G. W. Thomas and M. D. Jackson. A casual conversation on why and how we write the stuff we do. What is pulp? What makes a pulp writer? Why is Erle Stanley Gardner a pulp writer and Ernest Hemingway not? Why is Raymond Chandler considered a darling of the literary scene while Dashiell Hammett is not? When dis we first discover pulp writing and what was our "gateway drug" into the world of pulp fiction? Along the way M. D. Jackson talks a little about his new book Wild Incorporated: The Shattered Men (http://darkworldsquarterly.gwthomas.org/wild-incorporated/). G. W. Thomas spills the beans on his new project, Devil’s Gulch. Fascinating conversation from two lifelong pulp fiction aficionados.
