Summary/Abstract: Subject of the present paper is the issue of the body in the early 1990s novels. The problematic itself is multi-directional and is closely related to themes such as power, morality and eroticism. The paper examines the efforts within the Bulgarian literary field to construct a language apparatus, a model for articulating the body and corporeality in the prose and poetry after 1989. In the area of fiction, this led to the construction of specific styles and the emergence of specific trends. The article shows how in its public presence, literature strove to gain experience in writing and thinking about the body and corporeality, resulting in works nurtured by the new age.
