With a view to modernity

The temporary ebb and flow from the field of contemporary literary criticism is gradually being experienced. A number of our prominent literary critics are increasingly appearing in operational criticism, and the problems of contemporary literature are becoming the subject of their works. The efforts of our criticism not to lag behind the contemporary development of literature are becoming increasingly tangible. Yako Molhov ranks among this group of critics who have focused their attention entirely on the problems of contemporary literature. His recently published book "Contemporary Fiction Writers" is another testimony to these interests. The first part of the book includes two voluminous articles - an essay on the novelistics of Dimitar Dimov and a survey of the novel in 1960.
