About the book: 1993 / Delovay, although he lived in an oil production area in California, was a very sensitive creature, and was frightened even by the knocking of oil pumps. Once he spoke about telepathic communication... with oil. People have always been puppets of oil. Delaway lived on the banks of the Grand Canal in Venice, California, and then disappeared. But before that he told me a dream about the Black Gondolier.
