Abstract. The text will attempt to see texts of different genres that seek to make sense of the pandemic experienced. Some of these will be in the genre of diaries and will rely on the documentary, others will be keyed to comparisons with the Spanish flu and the plague, others will open up to the experience as a kind of moral catharsis or anti-utopian visions.Among the authors considered will be Ali Smith, Maggie O'Farrell, Gonzalo M. Tavareš, Zachary Karabashliev, Vladimir Zarev, Teodora Dimova.
Literary visions will also be looked at from the perspective of philosophy and futurology.
Keywords: pandemic; contemporary; topical; political
