Summary  

Based on the social and cultural changes in 1989, the paper discusses the process of transformation in Slovak literature. Based on the former three areas of literary production, the article offers a preview of the crucial trends and categories of contemporary literary production. It identifies and specifies the nature and vehicles of expression used in Slovak post-modern narration. It also presents multiculturalism as one of the latest Euro-Slovak tendencies in fiction. Ethical and religious dimensions are an inseparable part of renewed literary production in Slovakia. The production is classified also according to the dominance of empathy and/or subjectivity in a particular text. The latest trends are based either on parody, irony, and pla(y)giarism, or on religious values. The works of the youngest generation of authors are constructed on authentic feeling and subjective experience.
