Pulp, media e nuove fonti. I venticinque anni di ‘Gioventù cannibale’

Abstract

The paper returns to Gioventù cannibale 25 years after his release. After discussing about his adherence to pulp paradigms, it looks to characterizing aspects of the “cannibale” writ-ing: assimilation of media suggestions, deformation of language induced by spoken and ad-vertising, demolition of borders between high-brow and lowbrow. In the end, the article tries to reach an overall balance on the anthology, framing it in a general perspective about contemporary fiction.
