It may easily be observed in the historical process that the authors do not ignore the period
in which they live, and reflect the events in their works. One of the authors that may be considered in
this context is Mehmet Eroğlu. Mehmet Eroğlu is one of today’s novelists and has written thirteen
novels as of 2014 in which he has constantly reflected external realities. One of the most obvious ones
of these is the trilogy with the name “Fay Kırığı” (The Fault). In this trilogy, the problems of Turkey
that appeared in the past twenty or twenty-five years are handled with a viewpoint of a novelist. The
first one of the trilogy is called Mehmet (2009); the second one is called Emine (2011); and the third
one is called Rojin (2013). In the trilogy, the broken heaves after an earthquake, in other words, the
basic problems of Turkey in recent years are mentioned as the conflicts between the rich-the poor, the
secular-the Muslim, and the Turk-Kurd. Starting from this point, the issues like how Mehmet Eroğlu
handles Turkey in the end of the 20th Century and in the starting point of 21st Century as a careful
novelist and what he brings to the frontline in this context will be investigated in this study.
