Published works

Rajendran's first book was a collection of poetry called Mangosteen Crumble (Team East, 1999). It explored issues of identity and difference, often by using Malaysian English syntax.[1] It is now out of print, and the entire contents have been placed online.[2]

Her second book was Taxi Tales on a Crooked Bridge (Matahari Books, 2009), a non-fiction book based on her conversations with the taxi-drivers of Singapore, where she now lives. This quirky book also includes some poetry and photography. It debuted at No. 2 on the MPH Local Non-Fiction best-seller list for the week ending 17 May 2009.[3]
