Summary/Abstract: The paper follows a literary scandal kindled by the publication of the first volume of Michail Kremen’s “The Novel of Yavorov” in 1959. After considering the idiosyncrasy of the genre it goes on to differentiate five separate “novels” (five plot lines) inside it. The first one is “the novel of Kremen”, a kind of a bildungs narrative; the second portrays the ambivalent and dramatic presence of Peyo Yavorov; the third focuses on his tragic wife Lora Karavelova-Yavorova; the fourth highlights the never seen so far psychological drama of Totka (Dora) Konova-Grozeva; the fifth follows the reception of the book immediately after it was published. The paper is based on prolific research of archive documents and periodicals published in Bulgaria at the end of the 50’s and the beginning of the 60’s of XXth century.
