First sentence: I've never seen the sea.
Description: PLASTIC MAN: A Novel of the Sixties is a serio-comic story about college life at the University of Colorado, which symbolizes the entire decade of the Sixties. This work of self-discovery and cultural analysis 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 at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and the future describes his musings of what has happened to the country from the Sixties up to the present day.
Notes: Dan Culberson is a writer, editor, and publisher who came of age in the Sixties, which he remembers quite well, and who continues to write, edit, and live and think in the mountains. He has also published THE SEARCHER and AN ATHEIST'S HANDBOOK.
