Turkish democracy has been interrupted by the military
coups at times. It is a fact that such events inflict deep wounds in social-cultural
life. It is unimaginable that this social reality is not reflected in the literature.
Its reflections on literature are particularly dealt with in the novels and short
stories in more detail. One of these works is the novel The Cage – The Novel of September 12 (Kafes – 12 Eylül’ün Romanı) written by Lütfü Şehsuvaroğlu who is a victim
of September 12, 1980 military coup. In this novel, Şehsuvaroğlu describes the restricting
side of military coup concerning the freedom of individuals. In this study, we will
try to examine various aspects of the work.
