Yes. It's what you get when you use Haruki Murakami's books properly.

Does Philip K. Dick still count as a pulp author? If so, then I would say yes.

>> No.3296966

Of course.

If what you're really asking is "Is there such a thing as good bad art?" than of course not, though it is all according to you and your tastes.

Agreed.

I don't care much for crime fiction in general, but Chandler is a total boss, and when he gets around to say something subtantial he cuts deep.

Bukowski has his moments as well, even if most of his writings are infantile meanderings.
