About Fantasy Man

Everyday millions of people enter virtual worlds to escape their real life, and to explore their own boundaries. This is the story of Otto, a man in his fifties, who enters Second Life and immerses himself fully in exploring his sexuality - as a woman. Otto might be your husband or brother, he is like so many who venture forth to explore their inner self. This unique novel follows his sexual experiences and his struggle for acceptance as he is, amid the emotional heartbreak of losing the woman he loves. One of the most challenging novels you will read, it immerses you in the virtual world with its chat style dialogue, and fast paced action, as well as provoking the questions you will ask as your concepts of gender and reality are put to the test. Controversial, provocative, humorous and emotional, this novel highlights the rapidly changing world we live in and the dual existence that is available to us when we enter a virtual reality to escape.
