Summary/Abstract: Although being part of neighbouring and South Slavic literary tradition, mutual relation and interferences between Macedonian and Bulgarian literature, due to a particular set of socio-political circumstances, remained silent during the XX century, in rather long period of 50 years. In times of post-socialist transition and cultural shift toward postmodernism, the things improved in a positive way – raising the interliterary curiosity, enlarging the number of translated books, participating in bilateral cultural events such as Balkanika contest for best book, book festivals, publishing special, thematic issues of literary magazines. Today, one of the most distinguished contemporary Bulgarian authors, Georgi Gospodinov (1968) happens to be the most translated, published, represented one, considering the amount of his current Macedonians reception. Almost all of his books (the two novels, as well, as books of short stories and poems) are so far translated and published in Macedonian, including the last one of which was adapted for theatre. It also refers to the presentation of thematic exhibition in Skopje, he recently co-curated in Sofia.
