I appreciated his post, because whatever postmodernism "is" has always exerted magnetic pull on my own writing. Between Tribe's post and this excerpt from the call for submissions, I'm a happy writer again...
"For the Post-Pulp issue of Mississippi, we want you to use pulp to make something new, something that smashes our expectations by toying with them. Don’t let us catch you smiling or winking while you do it, either. Pulp is serious candy. We want crime fiction that’s out of focus or has coffee spilled all over it. Apply the new tricks of the literary game to refresh the genre, make it jump context. As Richard S. Prather once put it, 'Dig that crazy grave!'"
Stop. People might get the wrong idea...like, for instance, that I know what I'm talking about.
