Pulp Fictions

-

It’s summer, and you’re looking for something light to read? How about a thriller that isn’t a big doorstop of a book? If so, you could look at some pulp magazines. Initially an American phenomenon, they used stories set in foreign locales like India, Africa and South America—informing and entertaini­ng readers at the same time. There was even an Indian author— Prince Sarath Ghosh—who told jungle stories set in India.
