References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot

Well, hello, Dali! It’s so nice to have you back….

Actually, Salvador Dali does not literally appear in References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot except by reference. It’s enough to make his presence felt.

The play is awash in surrealism and erotic mystery, things that Dali knew much about. But the real center of attention is the narrative’s heroine, Gabriela. She is a living, breathing dream of sensuality and womanly promise, and she’s smart enough to be self-aware.

The Moon (definitely male in this story) wants to climb out of the sky and make love with the 27-year-old Latina. The horny virgin teenage neighbor boy, Martin, wants to make love with her. Heck, even her soldier husband, Benito, wants to make love with her Him, most of all.

Gabriela has a Cat as a domestic companion, and her story is a cryptic echo of Gaby’s own. The Cat is pursued by a local Coyote, torn between his desire to make love with the Cat and an urge to follow its true nature and instead just kill the Cat and eat it.

While Gabriela is Benito’s true love, he does have a mistress: the U.S. Army. His duty requirements frequently mandate that he stay on base, so she spends too many lonely nights sleeping in the backyard of her desert home at Barstow.

She’s been an Army wife for 11 years, and it’s physically impossible for her to have kids. Is this all there is? Being bounced between bases in Barstow and Germany? Has the brutality of modern combat changed her man? She can only stay with him if he is at heart the same man she fell in love with at age 15. But, is he? She has devised a test and will find out. The results of that test will determine if they have a future together…or not.

Romance, magical realism, sensuality, mystery , the unknown, and a heroine who is muy caliente. This one has it all.
