Pulp fiction is anti-hero, malign protagonist, absurd hero...
With black (comedy) humor...IMO. Absurdist, in a way. Black humor, too, is significant. Thay say Celine (who's stories remind of Pulp Fiction) Popularized black humor - I saw it back to Voltair...Celine is fully "modern" in his black comedic mode, Really good, and funny.
