Dread and Select Fictions

Sunil Sharma brings fictions that reveal truths; truths literary, social, psychological and emotional about our place in a mass society and its location in a global economy.

Things that can be revealed through the genre of short story; the way Isabella Allende does and teaches us to do with this demanding form of narration: “You can tell the deepest truths with the lies of fiction”.

The dialectical relationship between truth and imagination, reality and art forms, fact and fiction, present and future, well, relationships and dialectics that establish the strange realms---imagined; re-imagined and felt--- that contain complex worlds, words and artistic visions, artistically rendered as aesthetic wholes and meanings, transcendental in nature, appeal and overall effect; things and forms that delight and startle and connect the readers with other races and timelines, via the cultivated acts of reading and writing, peculiar to their immediate contexts.
