Pulp Fiction

Product Information

This Philadelphian author is synonymous with the noir genre. The son of Jewish Russian émigrés, his fiction had a remarkable empathy for outsiders and his work has twice been featured by the prestigious Library of America. Goodis has been accused of sometimes being too sentimental in his writing, but at its best – as in Dark Passage – he displays a poetic flair for the doomed and the downtrodden. In the book, Vincent Parry is framed for his wife’s murder before escaping from prison to seek justice. The plot may have a B-movie feel, but the frequently lyrical prose is a cut above many of the author’s peers.

Regarding the violence and nihilism in the film, Pamela Demory has suggested that Pulp Fiction should be seen in light of the short stories of Flannery O'Connor, [209] which likewise feature "religious elements, banality, and violence with grotesque humor." Discussing "the connection between violence and redemption," Demory concludes that while O'Connor's purpose is to convince readers "of the powerful force of evil in the world and of our need for grace," Tarantino "seeks to demonstrate that in spite of everything we have seen in the film– all the violence, degradation, death, crime, amoral behavior– grace is still possible; there might still be a God who doesn't judge us on merits."

[T]his is perhaps most marked when he moves on from being a simulation of a Baptist preacher, spouting Ezekiel because it was "just a cool thing to say..." In his conversion, Jules is shown to be cognizant of a place beyond this simulation, which, in this case, the film constructs as God. [248] Tarantino's primary inspiration for the speech was the work of Japanese martial arts star Sonny Chiba. Its text and its identification as Ezekiel 25:17 derive from an almost identical creed that appears at the beginning of the Chiba movie Karate Kiba ( The Bodyguard; 1976), where it is both shown as a scrolling text and read by an offscreen narrator.

In the Brookers' analysis, "Through Vince... we see the contemporary world as utterly contingent, transformed, disastrously, in the instant you are not looking." [253] Fraiman finds it particularly significant that Vincent is reading Modesty Blaise in two of these instances.
