This thesis reads Adam Thirlwell's Kapow! and Fadi Azzam's Sarmada as dramatizations of the Arab Spring. It focuses on how the Arab Spring uprisings and conflicts that affected the lives of Arab citizens are portrayed in the literature that attempts to deal with this historical movement. Thirlwell foregrounds the elements of the experimental novel to convey this event, but his narrator leaves the story of the Arab Spring backstage. On the other hand, Fadi Azzam employs magical realism in Sarmada, introducing a unique community who lives in a spiritual world. Sarmada provides a critical view of fundamentalism through the use of magical realism, which misrepresents life within the contemporary Syrian society. Throughout the portrayal of these two novels, a disturbing gap emerges between the current literature and the cultural reality of the Arab Spring.
