Summary/Abstract: Socialist realism is the reflection of the Marxist ideology on the author and his work. Socialist realistic criticism is a theory which deals with literature in the social conditions in which it is written, and examines it in the ideology of society and which aims to form an aesthetic platform. The fact that it grounds on human, its relation with Marxism brings the political/ideological feature of this theory into the forefront. The current, which was officially recognized in 1934 at the First Congress of Soviet Writers and which was active in Soviet Russia in the same years, brought a breath of fresh air to the Turkish literature. Kemal Bilbaşar is an author who turns this current into a lifestyle and produces work. In the first part of this study, ‘Socialist realism’ has been examined with its general features, in the second part the ‘Cemo’ novel of Kemal Bilbaşar has been examined in terms of socialist realism, a region of Anatolia has been given on a realistic platform from a socialist realism perspective and it has been focused on how the author’s socialist realistic tendencies are reflected in his novel.
