Summary/Abstract: After the liberation from the communist regime, starting with the millennials generation a Literature revolution takes place. The writings are non-conformist, hiding a brutal honesty, which can often shock a conservative reader, dominated by prejudices. Erotic themes and vulgar language are two defining components of the 2000 prose. Through them, the writers cry out their unhappiness and frustration created by a political system that has caused trauma and that currently seems to overwhelm the citizens. The language that appears in the novels is harsh, violent, shocking. The 2000 generation breaks patterns, changes mentalities and removes everything that was considered taboo by introducing uninhibited characters in novels, in a continuous search of identity.
