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 was graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. degree in
English literature in the Honors Program from the University of Colorado,
was president of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and was also a member
of the Phi Epsilon Phi sophomore men's honorary and the Hammers
junior men's honorary. Classmates of his at C.U. and longtime residents
of Boulder might very well recognize characters, events, or places
depicted in the novel.
Culberson was born in Carmel, CA, but grew up all over the U.S. and
Europe. He has lived in Monterey, CA: Medford, OR; Lawton, OK (twice);
Pampa, TX; Minot, ND; El Paso, TX; Tacoma, WA; Kennewick, WA;
Erlangen, Germany; Lebanon, MO; Colorado Springs, CO (where he
attended high school); Boulder, CO (where he attended college and now
lives); and Heidelberg and Sindelfingen, Germany. He served three years
in the U.S. Army, retired from IBM after a career in publications and is
a writer, editor, and publisher who came of age in the Sixties, which he
remembers quite well, and who continues to write, edit, live, and think
in the mountains. He was named a Boulder Pacesetter in 1985 by the
BOULDER DAILY CAMERA in the first year of that program and has
been a film reviewer since 1972 for magazines, newspapers, radio and
TV, whose current "Hotshots" reviews are on KGNU Public Radio in
Boulder and Denver every week, as well as on TV and all over the Internet.
