Summary/Abstract: The most recent Slovene novels (1990-2005), homoeroticism is only gradually working its way through stereotyping, medicalising, and mystery towards a normal state, or an equalisation of different sexual identities. It is comparable to the Slovene homoerotic literary tradition in the status of its episodic nature and its correlation to adolescents and/or forced living conditions. Since it was the experimentation of sexual identity of adolescents that has led to the more tolerant image of homosexuality in the most recent Slovene novels, the discussed homoeroticism is still turning in the circle of normalisation measured against heterosexuality, which treats homosexuality merely as a transistor}' phase in sexual development.
