DBS #56: Appreciating Pulp Fiction Writers

<p>We cover a lot of topics in this one. We start off by discussing Professor Tolkien's view on escapism and what we think about people who use entertainment as a means to escape their lives for a bit. That transforms into a quick conversation about media personalities who purposely say and do outlandish things to garner attention. </p> <p>When we finally get to the topic at hand, we have a wonderful discussion about how underappreciated we feel classic pulp writers are. Writers like Robert E. Howard, Raymond Chandler, Ian Fleming, and H.P. Lovecraft. Then Spencer takes things to a controversial level by naming who he thinks is the greatest living American author. This opens up a whole new discussion that gets really fun.</p> <p>Check out our fiction at <a href='http://www.drunkenpenwriting.com'>www.drunkenpenwriting.com</a></p> <p>You can also follow us on Twitter @drunkpenwriting</p> <p>On Instagram @drunkenpenwriting</p> <p>And like us on Facebook @drunkenpenwriting</p>
