Reading pulp fictions from the Hungarian (Jewish) author, Rejtő Jenő - or P. Howard/Gibson Lawery. He traveled a lot, in Europe, France, in the Mediterranean, sometimes living among the lowest of society. I think he has background in theater, and writing plays. He had a characteristic humour, his books are full of funny and absurd situations and dialogues. He frequently reused his own tropes, sometimes even names (some stories are connected, tied together in a series, but some are not). Some lines are written poorly, sometimes the logic is weak, sometimes just cringe. Most book has some romance plot too, fairly schematic. So all in all really a mixed bag, but enjoyable. Those who like them usually overrates them, but I also think more people should read them because they mean an easier approach to literature, a more palatable for wider audiences, than the classics we have to read in school.
I notice things in the stories I did not before. How they reflect the view the author had to the world, the politics and the goings, contemporary and near past events. For example in one series in the beginning the English and American interests clash in the earlier books, and in the later ones English and American intelligence services are depicted working very close to each other. Or in the legionnaire books - while the geographical descriptions are a bit naive - the events of the French colonization in Sub-Saharan Africa is quite realistic. It's refreshing to find new things to gain from these books.

That sounds good.
