Who was most responsible for writing Pulp Fiction?

Quentin Tarantino or Roger Avary?

I remember reading that they split afterwards over disagreement who
contributed most to its script.

I just watched The Rules of Attraction. I can see how it could've been
made by the same guy who made pulp fiction. I think it resembles pulp
fiction more than any film Tarantino made since. It's measured, it's
intricate, it's interlocking, it's intelligent, it's amusing, it's
hilarious. The situations, the characters, the humor; although I can
also see how Tarantino's manic excess for violence might've contributed
to Pulp Fiction, but, imho, it must've been Avary who was responsible
for the masterpiece that was Pulp Fiction.

Avary's input was, I believe, pretty much limited to the sequences
with Bruce Willis, which Tarantino rewrote from a script of Avary's.

The credit for Pulp really has to go mainly to Tarantino - which isn't
to say Avary doesn't deserve more recognition.

You see, I haven't read much about the history of the script itself,
though I know they had a major disagreement over credits for it, but
judging from impressions, I liked Pulp Fiction a lot, but none of
Tarantino's work before or since approached the level of quality in
that script. I say none. Not a single one. Not Dusk to Dawn, nor Jackie
Brown, nor Kill Bill, nor reservoir dogs. But Roger Avary's Rules of
Attraction has that Pulp Fiction level of mastery to its script.
