Playfully poignant, this highly entertaining psychological drama is a dark, intensely imaginative and unique work. Dr. Sharma's Fantabulous Fantasies is life-affirming with a distinctly original voice and a style laced with black comedy.Thirty-eight-year-old Dr. Dev Sharma is in a sticky situation after a misadventure. An experiment of sorts has left him struggling to breathe while his unruly imagination inspires blackly comical and surreal hallucinations. Meanwhile, the voice of a mysterious stranger propels him through disturbing memories; a devastating childhood loss, a fractured family, simmering compulsions boiling over, a quest for truth, and mighty secrets that will be revealed. Together the stranger and Dev discover why he is face-down on his friend Katie's hideous floral bedspread.

In every discussion on the role that language plays in our lives, every orator – from prominent politicians and corporate figures to linguists, educational experts, and others – concedes that language is important in all spheres of life. Language is both personal and introspective, as well as public and communal. Without it, we would not be able to communicate and articulate our thoughts and feelings to ourselves, to those in our inner circles, and to those in the world at large. Without it, we would not be able to establish partnerships and collaborations, and to unite peoples of diverse backgrounds and intrinsic values. Without it, too, we would not be able to learn new discoveries and...
