Plastic Man: A Novel of the Sixties is a serio-comic story about college life at the University of Colorado in Boulder, which also symbolizes the decade of the Sixties and has been called "the perfect novel for Baby Boomers" in one review. 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. A companion piece might be An Atheist´s Handbook, also by Culberson, which describes the "Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How" of the author´s transition from religious believer to religious nonbeliever in a logical, philosophical, and easy-to-read fashion. It should be required reading for both those who believe in God and those who do not believe in God. http://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.asp?bookid=22391
