The literary heritage of Bulletproof Nylon is a varigated, many facetted animal which traverses many genres and trends but ultimately begins and ends with - 'pulp'.
There are certain bodies who would decry 'pulp' fiction and those who wrote it throughout the 30s 40s and 50s as purile, ill concieved juvenilia, with little originality or worth with which to impress itself upon the face of what is commonly known as 'literature'.
I would have to profoundly disagree.
In the height of their popularity the american 'pulps' were consumed by Thousands of eager readers monthly, and in some instances fortnightly.
Most tales were written by soon to become 'major' writers who either learned, or fine tuned, their art in the fast moving, deadline conscious whirlwind of 'pulp' publishing.
And among them such authors as Dashiell Hammett, Isaac Asimov, Robert E Howard, Raymond Chandler and H P Lovecraft created worlds of thrilling adventure, horror and mystery - in such swift succession that often what readers perused on the page was the virgin, untouched verbage that had first hit the page on leaving the creative mind... in short pure imagination.
