Jaspreet Singh was born in India, lives in Canada and is a former research scientist. His second novel, Helium, is published by Bloomsbury.
Andrew Riemer The creative energy that drove E. M. Forster to produce four notable novels within a few years stalled after the success in 1910 of Howards End, that fine book about the world of ''telegrams and anger''. Forster could get nowhere with a novel provisionally entitled Arctic Summer - about 80 pages of a sketch have survived, published long after his death. Moreover, the idea for a ''book about India'' remained no more than an idea for many years. The drought broke in 1924, when the long-projected novel about India emerged as A Passage to India, Forster's greatest achievement and the last novel published in his lifetime. He died in 1970.
