Talk:Pulp (novel)

2nd para

The second paragraph is very unclear, and I can't figure out what it's supposed to mean in order to fix it.

1. We shouldn't say "fictional novel"; novel means it's fictional. If it's partially autobiographical we can call it a "partly autobiographical novel"
2. Many of Bukowski's novels were partially autobiographical; this paragraph at once says it's different from them, and then that it's not. Shouldn't we just say "Many of Bukowski's novels have autobiographical elements, although Pulp is almost entirely fiction" ?
3. What purpose does the quotation from the book in this paragraph serve? It doesn't seem at all related to the text that precedes it, and we give no explanation of what it means or why it matters. An encyclopedia article has to explain things; interpretation should not be devolved to the reader.
