Subject: Re: Asian women Writers Collective


Hi Mark,

	Thanks so much for your e-mail.  I had no idea that *Flaming Spirit*
existed.  My dissertation had a chapter on Randhawa's *A Wicked Old Woman*
and on Gurinder Chadha's *Bhaji on the Beach* and I'm trying to follow that
up with more research on South Asian women writers/filmakers in England.  I
teach at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and I've had no luck
getting the *Hari-Jan* through inter-library loans or through any of the
non-mainstream bookshops in North America.  It's good to know that the book
is still in print.  I'm going to try and find its publisher's (Mantra)
address and will then fax/e-mail/write/phone them.  I'm not familiar with
Dillons.  Do you have their address?  I could write them and see if they
will send me a copy of the book through the mail.  I'd also really like to
continue "talking" to you about these writers.

												All the best,

													Asha
