Absract. The report focuses on the “boom” of the new Bulgarian novel, on the themes, problems, the images that these novels discuss and on the reasons for this “boom”, offering its hypothesis about it. The text does not claim to be exhaustive in the analysis of the novels published in the last 3 years, since these novels for the period far exceed one hundred, rather it focuses on texts that have received literary awards or nominations, a fact that is sufficient to bring them to the fore in the analysis, but is not an indicator of their value essence. That is why the report seeks to bring out some general features of the novel boom, without making value comparisons, which are too early for newly published novels.
Keywords: Bulgarian novel; boom; crisis; cultural messages; missing center
