Pulp (novel)

Pulp (novel)

"Pulp" is the last completed novel by Los Angeles poet and writer Charles Bukowski. It was published posthumously in 1995, one year after Bukowski's death.

Unlike other Bukowski novels, the narrator is not Henry Chinaski (although he does appear); instead, the novel follows private detective Nicky Belane as he attempts to track down French classical author Céline and the elusive Red Sparrow. Belane's hunt drags him further and further into low-life adventures across the city, typical of a Bukowski novel, but the story eventually includes supernatural and science fiction elements.
