Good Reading from East Tennessee authors

Essayist and poet Daniel C. Dulik from East Tennessee wrote The Big Book Of Dan: Road Alligators and Incongruous Possibilities, recently published by Outskirts Press. Dulik's compilation of humorous anecdotes, poems and musings offers diverse views of today's world and innovative and entertaining speculation on the origins of some of the foibles of modern man.

Dulik invites readers to take their heads out of the box and sit down and enjoy this collection of witty, satirical essays about everyday life written from his own uniquely fresh and brainy perspective.

A career guiding a successful engineering and construction company gave the author many hours on the road -- in the days before good cell phone reception -- and more than enough time to ponder the meaning of the sometimes insidious insanity he observed in daily life around him.  He offers this collection of essays, anecdotes and poems to provide his readers with a similar respite from a serious world and a chuckle or three to help pass the day.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1948, the middle child of five, Dan began to develop a sense of humor in order to claim his place in the family.  When a career in sales was foisted upon him, humor provided an expedient device to develop the gregarious façade helpful in closing deals. Dan claims to have stretched his high school education as far as it would go, but this collection of jocular writings proves his successful completion of a graduate degree in the astute study of quirky behavior in his fellow man.
