Biography of Malcolm Brenner

Malcolm J. Brenner was an American journalist and writer, born in 1951 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Little is known about his childhood, but in the 1990s, he worked as a reporter for several newspapers and conducted investigative journalism. Although he never had any major cases, his articles were consistently published. In the 1970s, Malcolm developed an interest in photography and filmmaking, particularly in capturing and documenting the lives of marine creatures such as killer whales.

In 1992-1994, Brenner worked for the "Farmington Daily Times." After being terminated, he filed a lawsuit claiming that he was fired because of his interest in and practice of Wicca, a nature-based religion associated with witchcraft and sects at that time.

Brenner gained scandalous notoriety in 2010 with the publication of his book, "Wet Goddess." The novel's main character, Zak Zimmerman, falls in love with a female dolphin. The public was outraged by the explicit description of the sexual relationship between the young man and the dolphin. Additionally, Brenner caused further controversy by claiming that the book was autobiographical and that he had experienced a similar relationship in the 1970s when he worked at an amusement park in Florida. The book sparked public outcry as it openly described a sustained sexual relationship between a human and a dolphin, with the author even glorifying this unusual love. According to Brenner, the relationship in the book lasted for six months before the amusement park closed, leading to their separation. He claimed that the dolphin died nine months later, allegedly from grief.

After the book's release, journalists heavily criticized Brenner, and in an interview, he admitted to having had sexual experiences with dogs as well. This revelation further alienated a large portion of his audience. Regarding the dolphin story, Brenner stated that both he and the dolphin suffered immensely when they were separated. Although Brenner's book, "Wet Goddess," is a work of fiction with no documentary evidence, the plot seemed to be based on his own experiences, which fueled the harsh criticism he received.

However, Brenner insisted that there was no violence in his book or in his autobiographical story. He claimed that it solely portrayed a deep love between a young man and a female dolphin. Currently in his sixties, Malcolm Brenner is known to be married. After the book's release, he mentioned the possibility of writing a sequel, depending on its success in the market.
