The Lemon Jell-O Syndrome
The Lemon Jell-O Syndrome | Man Martin
5 posts | 1 read | 15 to read
Sometimes Bone King cannot go through doors. He has no physical impairment, but at times his brain and muscles simply cant recall how to walk him through them. Perhaps it has something to do with his being distracted thinking about grammar and etymology all the time, or maybe its anxiety that his wife is having an affair with the yardman. But then renowned neurologist Arthur Limongello offers a diagnosis as peculiar as the ailment: Bones self is starting to dislodge from his brain. The treatment is a series of therapeutic tasks; Bone must compliment a stranger each day, do good deeds without being asked, and remind himself each morning, that Today is a good day! But first, as a temporary measure, he also suggests Bone simply try to dance through the doorways. And for a time, Bones square dancing, the only kind of dance he knows how to do, seems to more or less work. Bones condition begins to improve, but then his wife leaves him, and after a harrowing ordeal during which he nearly loses his life, Bone makes an astounding discovery about the man who has been calling himself Dr. Limongello. Is Limongellos remedy the product of a deranged imagination or the cure for a modern epidemic threatening the very self?

Enjoyed this quirky, light, feel-good novel by local Atlanta author Man Martin. Lots of grammar trivia, so especially recommended for grammar sticklers as well as fans of Fredrik Bachman and Jonas Johansson.
