Pulp
Culture: The Art of Fiction Magazines
by Frank M. Robinson, Lawrence Davidson, Ann Bennett (Editor)
Penzler Pick, November 2001: Pulp magazines reigned for about a quarter
of a century as the most popular entertainment medium in America. They
were cheaply produced and, during the Great Depression, were blessedly
cheap to buy, generally a dime.
And they were plentiful. After a low-key beginning, when a few magazines
displayed their tasteful covers to an appreciative readership, their success
spawned countless competitors. The covers became more and more garish,
and promised ever greater excitement. Western covers went from an illustration
of an Indian gently paddling his canoe to furious cattle stampedes, a huge
gang of obviously ferocious savages attacking a defenseless family, and
depictions of shootouts in every conceivable locale. Mystery covers went
from showing a cop on the beat to villainous thugs tearing the clothes
off a helpless young woman (most frequently a generously endowed young
blonde) or any other sort of action that promised the reader endless excitement.
And they delivered. Pulp writers knew how to write thrilling stories
and books. Many of the best went on to extremely successful careers in
book form. Dashiell Hammett wrote most of his stories and novels for the
pulps,
and he is now recognized as one of the most influential fiction writers
of the 20th century. Raymond Chandler, too, wrote stories for the pulps
and is frequently conceded to be the great mystery writer of the 20th century.
Pulps became more and more specialized as their numbers increased, soon
appealing to fans of jungle stories, science fiction, fantasy, railroad
stories, romances, Westerns, Western romances, aviation, the Foreign Legion,
engineering, the outdoors, courtrooms, Wall Street, newspapers, firefighters,
and so on. Now there is a new book that recalls that Golden Age of the
pulp magazines (roughly 1920-1945) with a knowledgeable and nicely written
text that covers all the highlights of the major magazines and the major
writers, who are sometimes remembered today and, alas, sometimes not.
And there are those fabulous covers! Magnificently produced in Hong
Kong, Pulp Culture is a genuine bargain. Here are the Shadow, Max Brand,
Talbot Mundy, Erle Stanley Gardner, Black Mask, Sax Rohmer and Fu Manchu,
C.S. Forester, and Captain Horatio Hornblower, Doc Savage, the Phantom
Detective, and on and on.
For the old codgers among us, this gorgeous book will produce a happy
trip down memory lane. Younger readers, eat your heart out. It will show
you what you missed in a time of great storytelling that today's television
shows can't ever match. --Otto Penzler - Amazon.com

Ben Shahn : Artist's Artist, People's Painter
by H. Greenfeld, Ben Shahn, 1998.
There was a time when nearly everyone recognized Ben Shahn's scathing
pictures from his most famous series, The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti,
1932. Sacco and Vanzetti, two working-class anarchists convicted on trumped-up
murder charges, lie dead in their coffins. Behind them stand the top-hatted
men of the old Anglo establishment, hypocritically mourning the poor immigrants
whose lives they destroyed. Peggy Moorman NYT Book Review
