The Plastic Men

Referencing the diverse styles of Kurt Vonnegut, the beat poets , and the concise literary works of the interwar modernists, this book is three short stories written in a poetic form which follow the central character through the present, past and lastly into dream-sleep. A journey to work, a story of love and divorce, the end of all things.

Despite being both humorous and satirical, there is nevertheless a dark side to events which span centuries but which are still immediate and personal. Cultural references clash and combine to draw the reader through the story. Real life events encounter unreal happenings and vice versa, until the final devilish debacle...

Dan Tindall is both a writer and a folk musician, and this is reflected in the concise and flowing nature of the text - stylized but not obscure, designed to draw the reader into the mirror world within the book. At only 35 pages, this is still a fully formed story cycle and worth your attention.

Dan's music also available via Amazon (and all the other major platform) and reflects much of the same themes and ideas.
