Stating that he had already written his life story in some of his works as necessary, but that he wanted to illustrate his true spiritual life and the identity card of his soul, Necip Fazıl once again pulls back the curtain on the past, especially his childhood days, with this work.
Kafa Kâğıdı is an autobiography aimed more at capturing the spiritual formations that give rise to events rather than the outer manifestations of the events themselves.
The work, which gains a distinct "peculiarity" due to its unfinished nature, was serialized in the Milliyet newspaper in January 1984 and was later published as a book.
