Summary/Abstract: The article describes some authors of contemporary Kashubian literature such as Jan Drzeżdżon, Stanisław Janke and Artur Jabłoński. The analysis of their novels today allows us to see new mentality and aesthetic processes in Kashubian literature. Drzeżdżon moved away from the poetics of realism to the benefi t of dream and grotesque, Janke from factographic memories in favor of the Bildungsroman poetics and symbolic narrative. In reference to postmodernism Jabłoński builds his novels by using a sensational, moral, symbolic or political fi ction plot. By describing these three writers we can characterize the wider transformation of the poetics of the novel in Kashubia.
