'''Pop literature''' is a literary sub-genre derived from the broader [[genre]] called [[Postmodern literature|postmodern]]. The term first appeared in Portuguese and was originally used by Brazilian writer Evelina Hoisel in her book ''Supercaos: os estilhaços da cultura em Panamérica e Nações Unidas'' [Superchaos: the splinters of [[culture]] in ''PanAmérica'' and ''Nações Unidas''],<ref>Hoisel, Evelina. ''Supercaos: os estilhaços da cultura em Panamérica e Nações Unidas''. Rio de Janeiro: Civilização Brasileira,1980.</ref> released in 1980 and republished in 2014. The term was later expanded by Décio Torres Cruz in his books ''O pop: Literatura, mídia e outras artes'' (2003, republished in 2013) [Pop: Literature, media and other arts]<ref>Cruz, Décio. ''O pop: Literatura, mídia e outras artes''. Sakvador: Quarteto; EDUNEB, 2003.</ref> and ''The Cinematic Novel and Postmodern Pop Fiction: The Case of [[Manuel Puig]]'' (2019).<ref></ref>
== Definition ==
'''Pop literature''' appears as a literary typology in the sixties very much connected to the counter-culture movements of the period. As a sub-genre of the postmodern, pop literature inherits most of its characteristics, such as appropriation, blurring of genres, [[metafiction]], open-endness, [[fragmentation]] of [[Character|characters]] and fictional structure, the effacement of differences between the original and its copies, etc. As defined by Cruz, pop literature is a type of literature based on the products of mass media, which "borrows the elements and techniques from both cinema and [[Pop art|Pop Art]] in order to construct [[cinematic]] narratives." According to this author, Walter Benjamin's idea of loss of "authenticity introduced by mechanical reproduction has contributed to the way postmodern pop literature established itself." As a consequence, "postmodern pop literature creates multimedia effects by borrowing techniques from several sources and by reusing tradition and adding new meanings to it through collage."<ref></ref> In its origin, pop literature was closely linked to Pop Art in its subversive nature and style, to the ''avant-garde'' movements of the sixties, and also to the cinematic feature found in some novels and in Pop Art itself. With its precursors in Baudelaire and Whitman, according to Cruz, the genre starts and consolidates itself in the sixties, reflects the [[worldview]] of the period, but moves on through the following [[Decade|decades]] until it reaches the new [[Millennium|millenium]] and moves forward.
== Some writers of pop fiction ==
There is a wide range of authors that may be classified under this postmodern sub-genre. The first author to have used this writing style, according to Hoisel, is the Brazilian writer named José Agrippino de Paula in his novel ''PanAmérica'' (1967), later followed by [[Roberto Drummond]] in his novel ''A morte de D.J. in Paris'' [D.J.'s death in Paris]. Besides these writers, Cruz expanded the list and included The Beatles' book ''Yellow Submarine'' (1968)<ref>The Beatles. ''Yellow Submarine''. Illustrated by Heinz Edelmann.
