Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to analyse the newest Germanophone novels (Tommy Jaud, Angelika Reitzer and Marlene Streeruwitz) in the context of changed patterns of partnership in the 21st century, which can be associated with a refusal to compromise by a generation brought upin the conviction of inviolability of their own individuality. Furthermore, the question has been raised what kind of partnerships and ways of living appear in the selected novels and which mechanisms are responsible for those changes.
