Haladi Meenu, a work of fiction written by Daniels and translated to Kannada by A. K. Ramanujan, was published in 1966.
Upon re-issue in 2018, the novel was received as "an exhilarating exercise in wit and verve" [1] and as a "remarkable but forgotten book, that is almost a palimpsest of Arundhati Roy’s God of Small Things".
Daniels later wrote The Prophetic Novel (1991), a critical essay on the inter-weaving of multiple belief systems in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India.
She taught idiosyncratically, throwing pencils, advising her students on diet and lifestyle, and encouraging them to get "all the autobiographical stuff out-and out of the way".
[3] Daniels also compiled a book of writing lessons and exercises, The Clothesline Review Manual for Writers (1987).
