American Pulp: How Paperbacks Brought Modernism to Main Street

“Paula Rabinowitz’s exquisite and startling new book about the ‘golden age’ of U.S. pulp publishing, from the late 1930s to the early 1960s, is rightly confident in the originality of its enterprise. Gorgeously illustrated,American Pulp audaciously sets in motion at least a half-dozen crisscrossing storylines to create a new cartography of pulp performance.”–Alan Wald, International Viewpoint
