Summary/Abstract: This text explores generic peculiarities in contemporary literature. They are observed in the way “The East” and “the West” are represented in the prose of a Bulgarian woman writer of travelogues who belongs to emigration literature. The woman’s point of view is regarded within certain frameworks, typical of 21st-century readers. In addition, the text aims at placing a specific woman’s voice on the contemporary map of world literature. The article focuses on the different meanings of love (as literature, home country and as the world) in the work of Izabela Shopova.
