Ohh, wrong use of "pulp novel." Pulp novel means the full-length (30,000 word?) fiction that appeared in 1930s & '40s newsstand magazines printed on cheap pulpwood. They were pretty much dead by the '50s, killed by paperbacks as well as TV & comic books [which all used the same genres: Westerns, mystery, war, adventure, masked avengers, science fiction].
just cause some hit movie came along doesn't mean we suddenly throw out 70 years of accepted definition.

booth btw is star of lovely and literate L shaped room , a real knockout,
directed by bryan forbes, the only(?) top notch director i know who is also
a fine fiction writer unless you include sayles who authored several
noteworthy leftish short stories in the late 60's (or a little later)
Orson Welles' "Mr. Arkadin" (the book) is a fun little 50s pulp novel, it's actually better than the (miscast) film
We talk and talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
The braying sheep on my tv screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
