The concept of self is a brooding concern for many modern women writers. Githa Hariharan, a postmodern feminist writer, voices the same concern in her first novel The Thousand Faces of Night. In the patriarchal system, the identity of woman is that which defines her relation to a male. Either she is a daughter, wife or his child’s mother. She does not have her own independent identity. Now, slowly women have begun to move towards self perception and self expression, not entirely against tradition but within  family binding. Hariharan’s The Thousand Faces of Night is a sensitive saga of women struggling to survive in a world of shattered dreams. It is a story of Devi, the protagonist and her desperate search for identity in the traditional Hindu society. Intermingled with Devi’s search is the search of Mayamma, the old caretaker
and Devi’s mother Sita.

The word ‘novel’ as a literary term, connoting a literary genre in
English, has its origin in the 18th century. Earlier than this, however, Chaucer and Bunyan told stories using characters as vehicles to propagate morals. But Chaucer told his stories in verse, and Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress is a mere record of many adventures which the hero takes with utmost divine virtues and
magic powers. It appears more like a fantastic story than a novel.One important thing, which stands out prominently in the history of the English novel, is its immense popularity in the 20th century. It has eclipsed the poetry and the drama, it is the only literary form which has competed successfully with the radio and the cinema, and it is in this genre that work of the greatest merit is being produced. Compression is the best characteristic feature both of the poetry and the drama, the modern man is under the influence of science requires more discussion, detail clarification, explanation and analysis. This is possible only in the novel and hence the preference for it.

Grimus is a “futuristic fantasy” about an immortal native American called Flapping Eagle, whose quest it is to find his sister Bird-Dog and vanquish the archwillain Grimus, ruler of Calf Island. Due to Flapping Eagle’s posthumous birth, the siblings are virtual outcasts, which is why they have little difficulty in leaving their people when they are offered immortality. In the middle section of the novel Flapping Eagle abandons his companion and attempts to settle down in the town of K, where he wreaks have on its population by depriving some inhabitants of the absolute certainty that is necessary to fight off the “Dimension-fever” caused by Grimus. The problem with this novel is that science fiction is usually a fundamentally rational genre.

Once the teacher understand this, his notion of teaching a language as a subject will change and he will develop four pillars of language among his students.
