What are some novels now considered pulp that will be considered great literature in the future?

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 19 18:10:45 2011 No.1567760 There aren't any?

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 19 19:19:45 2011 No.1567950 >>1567760 Of course there are. It's hard for me to speculate though, only time will tell. It also depends on the reading tastes of the future.

I honestly believe that some of King's more tame novels (and by that I mean toned down in the use of the supernatural) might receive a little more appreciation from the literary elite once Stephen King himself passes away.

Cujo and Misery are the first two that come to mind. And despite its terrible, cheaply thought-out ending, I thought The Stand was very good.

Again, I'm not saying he will be compared to the Tolstoys and Hemingways, but I believe in his passing some people won't be as eager to throw piles upon piles of shit upon his name.

He isn't exactly "pulp" now, but Harlan Ellison's work will gain increasing cultural cachet when he isn't around to deprecate its value with boob-grabbing antics.

I honestly believe "Glasshouse" by Charles Stross is destined for the Dystopian Classics Hall of Fame.
