| description | When the second decade of the 21st century began, there was an upheaval in the writing of short stories
in Bulgarian literature, comparable to the upheaval of the novel in the beginning of the same century. Many different
approaches existed simultaneously, among which the traditionally realistic, the postmodern, and the fantastic approach could
be observed. The focus of the article is on short stories dealing with some ongoing problems of Bulgarian society, thus
considering approaches relevant to them. Especially popular in the first years of the second decade was the urban theme, most
often associated with Sofia, and presented in stories of the type called "express literature". The article compares these stories
with social novels published in the first decade and points out the differences as well as the similarities they bear, especially
in the combination of literary with non-literary discourses.
In the middle of the decade, short story writing declined, or at least it seemed so according to the literary criticism
of that time. However, the article demonstrates exactly the opposite. The desire to write about social problems existing in real
life increased, only with new poetic means, which are summarized and defined here using numerous literary examples. |
