James Abbott McNeill Whistler (10 July 1834 -- 17 July 1903) was an American-born painter, who spent most of his life in Great Britain. He was a great advocate of the art for art's sake philosophy and he was one of the leaders of the Aesthetic Movement. Many influences can be found in Whistler's work, including Rembrandt, Velázquez, Japanese art and Ancient Greek sculpture. Despite creating over 500 paintings, he was equally talented in using many other media. His most famous piece is Whistler's Mother, painted in 1871.

In G. Nagarajans stories, for the first time in Indian literature, and extraordinarily in Tamil literature, we encounter a world of marginal hopeless human beings crawling like "ants on a Mobius strip", devoid of any of the typical traditional "Indian" elements of transcendence or salvation. Here we are in a Tamil world which is totally devoid of metaphysics, not particularly "Indian", where there is only the sky above everyone, secular to the core, in which we find human beings immersed in their quotidian happiness and miseries, floating around like the Meidosems of Henri Michaux, with their narrator observer swimming above them.
