Summary/Abstract: During the last decade of the 20th century Bulgarian literature underwent radical changes, and, moreover, at a fast speed. Literary criticism has already defined it as fin de ciѐcle literature, that way granting it the status of a separate period. Yet, when critics’ point of view is being replaced with the retrospective prism of literary history, things change. This article problematizes the already accepted definition fin de ciѐcle literature. It is its aim to prove that those radical changes which began after 1989, were not ultimate for the end of the 20th century. They continued to bloom on a full scale during the next decade, i.e. the first decade of the 21st century. This requires another, and stricter definition to be accepted: the long 90’s of the 20th century.
