Özet:

Historical information is an important source of material for the novel. The novelist, starting from historical knowledge, shapes his fiction and reproduces the events that have happened in the past. There is a historical reality in the novel. The author deals with a historical event like a historian and opens the door to new interpretations. The writer who tries to reconstruct history fills the places where history leaves empty with a literary approach and makes him feel more experienced. But since this historical reality enters the limits of the fiction, it turns into the view of the writer. It is important where the author stands. It is quite difficult to address, interpret, and discuss a controversial event such as the 27th May. In addition to the novelist’s identity, Nilüfer Kuyaş, one of the intellectual writers of the last period, investigates and questiones the May 27 strike in recent history with his novel New Head. The writer, offering a realistic perspective in the novel, reveals the painful facts, confessions, and the unknown aspects of the events in question. It is one of the rarest writers who has managed to uninterruptly show the event of May 27. This study will evaluate how historical information is reflected and re-produced with the help of the writer's fantasy world.
