The lesser known novel Scarab and Vestal by the contemporary Slovene writer Feri Lainšček introduces an example of a descendant of Polish immigrants who fled to America to seek their identity in a new environment (a melting pot), encountering a variety of new social discourses and categorisations. The paper explores different ways of looking at the response of an eighteen-year old reader after their first reading of the contemporary Slovene novel.
