Abstract
Milkman written by Anna Burns depicts a politically violent period in the history of Northern Ireland called the “Troubles”. The religious and political contrasts between Catholic Irish Republicans, who aimed to form a free Northern Ireland by getting out of the domination of England and Protestant British Loyalists who aimed to stay united, constantly piled up and led to cruel acts. Paramilitaries from both sides terrorized the country with thousands of deaths. Anna Burns depicts the period with first-person narrator, an eighteen-year-old young girl whose only purpose is to read novels from previous centuries. Gece Dersleri by Latife Tekin portrays a militia named Gülfidan with the alias Secretary Wind. Gülfidan recollects her past with guilt and shame. Turkey in the 1970s went through unprecedented protests and strikes that led to the coup in 1980. As part of a leftist organization, Gülfidan takes the responsibility of the political chaos in Turkey.
