Jaspreet Singh

Jaspreet Singh grew up in India and Kashmir. He moved to Montreal in 1990 where he completed both an M.Eng. (1993) and a Ph.D. (1998) in chemical engineering at McGill University.  Jaspreet Singh lived in Toronto prior to moving to Calgary.

Singh’s autobiographical essay “My Mother, My Translator” published online by GRANTA is an exceptional prose work that on the surface describes her translation of Seventeen Tomatoes into the Punjabi language, and his own efforts to translate her MSS of memorial writing into English. The essay is part of Singh’s memoir My Mother, My Translator.
