What is Romansa pulp?
Ny romansa pulp dia manondro tantara fitiavana haingana sy melodramatika izay nalaza tamin'ny gazety pulp sy bokikely mora vidy nivoaka tamin'ny fiandohan'ny taonjato faha-20. Ireo tantara ireo dia nampahafantatra ny plot mampihetsi-po, endrika fototra mazava, ary sary fonon'ny boky miloko sy mahavariana natao hahasarika ny saina eny amin'ny toerana fivarotana gazety.
Ny romansa pulp dia nivoaka avy tamin'ny fitomboan'ny gazety pulp sy bokikely ho an'ny tsena betsaka (tombanana ho 1920s–1950s eo anelanelan'izany). Notontosaina tamin'ny taratasy pulp hazo mora vidy ary amidy tamin'ny vola kely, ireo tantara ireo dia natao ho haingana: fihetseham-po avo, risika mazava, toetra mahery (ny vehivavy sahirana, ny lehilahy mijoro, ny mpifaninana, ny femme fatale), ary ny fikorontanana—tsy fahatsiarovana, lova tampoka, tafio-dratsy, na famoahana tsiambaratsoa amin'ny minitra farany. Ny soratra dia matetika mivantana sy manosika ary ny endrika hita maso—fonon-taratasy miloko, sary hosodoko mahery—dia nanampy nanorina tropes fahatsiarovana sy ikonika izay noforonin'ny mpanoratra romance taty aoriana, nohatsaraina, na nosivana.
