PUBLICATIONS:
PLASTIC MAN: A Novel of the Sixties, by Dan Culberson, was published April 3, 2008, in both a hardcover and a softcover edition by Xlibris
Corporation, a division of Random House Publishers.
This serio-comic story about college life at the University of Colorado in Boulder symbolizes the decade of the Sixties and has been called
a legitimate contender for the Great American Novel.
A work of self-discovery and cultural analysis, the novel employs three different time schemes: The present describes the protagonist's
journey after dropping out of college following a personal tragedy and hitchhiking from Colorado to California, the past describes his
memories of his mostly comic experiences in college, and the future describes his musings of what happened to the country from the Sixties
up to the present day. Culberson's classmates and residents of Boulder might very well recognize people, places, and events depicted in the
novel.
