LifeRandhawa was born in India in 1952, but grew up in Warwickshire, England, and now (2014) lives in London.[2] She is the subject of a chapter in British Asian Fiction: Twenty-first Century Voices by Sarah Upstone.[3] Upstone writes that Randhawa "was essential to the burgeoning British Asian literature" and "not only wrote prolifically about the lives of British Asian women, but also fostered the careers of others, including Meera Syal."[4] WorkIn 1984, she founded the Asian Women Writers' Collective, which has published multiple collections of Asian women writers works. Her first novel A Wicked Old Woman is described as "a pioneering work of fiction", "one of the first [novels] to be published by a British Asian writer in the postwar period", and "a linguistically and structurally playful text that seems to foreground itself as artwork." The Coral Strand, published in 2001, was reissued as A Tiger's Smile. It "moves between pre-Independence Bombay and contemporary London" and "shifts seamlessly between places and states of mind, physical settings and stream of consciousness, between poetic prose and documentary realism".[2] Selected publications
