Malcolm J. Brenner (born May 9, 1951) is an American author from New Jersey, journalist, and zoophile; [1] He is best known for his controversial novel Wet Goddess (2009), about a love affair between a college student and a bottlenose dolphin in the 1970s. As a journalist, he has covered local news in New Mexico and Florida since the early 1990s.
In the 1990s, Brenner worked as an investigative reporter covering the Navajo Nation and surrounding area. A 1998 article on the American Indian Movement (AIM) and Russell Means which Brenner wrote for the Gallup Independent is featured on the AIM website. [2]
From 1992 to 1994, Brenner worked at the Farmington Daily Times. After being terminated, Brenner filed a federal lawsuit claiming that he had been terminated for practicing Wicca. [3]
Since 2010, Brenner has gained international notoriety for his novel, Wet Goddess.

[6] Brenner claims the book is autobiographical, and based on a series of events that happened to him in the 1970s. In an article in the Huffington Post, Brenner said: "I wrote this book for dolphins because we are mistreating these animals by keeping them in captivity." [7]
Brenner claims to have had sex with a female dolphin named Dolly in the 1970s. Describing the experience, he stated they "stared into each others eyes" for moments after they made love and they tried seven different poses. [8] He is a zoophile activist. [9]
