Two Bottled Dolphins is an unchartered vibe. Superior writers don't follow normal structure, but make you think, irregardless. Ideally, audiences could peruse a fiction-work many times, discovering something new every-time. Like author Philip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?-became BladeRunner), the subjective response, reflecting upon completion, is a narrative not seeming to hold the memory of a story; rather the after-effects of a poem rich in metaphor remain, leaving readers richer. The threat of misspent life, salvation, trust in false idols, abandoning vices, particularly the silent killer of millions worldwide is the story's moral. My characters are misfits. Miamians drawn from other cities, when at the end of their ropes, they try to rebuild, figure it out. Two Bottled Dolphins harkens Tom Wolfe's, Bonfire of the Vanities, ' voice; with haphazard plot, reminiscent of Philip K. Dick. I addressed lovers' unspoken thoughts during orgasm. Hiding emotions because one or the other denies recognizing something's there, is where the bottled dolphin metaphor came - the dimorphic realm irresistible. Re-read passages, the book . . . for Martin Buber was right - quoting details of his book, he absently responded, "I wrote under the spell of an irresistible enthusiasm." Enjoy a vibe ripe in metaphors and symbols.
There are several things that are interesting about the book. It kept my attention throughout and I'm notorious for not finishing books. The imagery and dialogue really stand out in my mind. And I feel that people will get something out of it especially if they pay attention to the goings-on in Book II. It illuminated the prior passages in Book I. In that regard it reminded me of Virginia Woolf's to To The Lighthouse; to take a built-up plot and clarify it is especially satisfying in a fairly lengthy novel such as this.
