Title of the paper : Feminine stability in the novel of Clear Light of Day by Anita Desai

Abstract: Desai is famous for creating an intense atmosphere in her novels. Being an Indian feminist writer, her novels deeply reflect the social and cultural background of Indian society. She, being a literary writer, has mastered delineating various techniques in novels that distinguish her from her contemporary female writers in the literary world. As an eminent figure in the world of literature, she has employed similes and metaphors in order to find out about loss of identity issues in the postcolonial era. This paper aims to draw the attention of the readers to the hidden underpinnings of her novels.
