My use of the term "literature" in distinction to "pulp fiction" may 
have been a little sloppy, but the use of the term "pulp" puts a novel 
in a particular category to which Warlock does not belong.  Liking pulp 
or not is irrelevant. I like white tea, but that does not make it green 
tea. Same leaf, different processes and techniques.
