Dean Mabe bio: Dean’s art is a culmination of years spending time on his ranch in southern Colorado with his horses, watching sunsets, mountain hunting trips, hikes into wilderness areas, and climbs up 14,000 foot peaks. After sketching and working with acrylics and oils, Dean settled into oils to tell his story. His art tells his experience of time he spent in a saddle, watching the sunrise, or the moment summer turns to autumn. His work is representational and somewhat impressionistic, with just enough detail to capture the moment. 

Dean was born in Colorado Springs though most folks think of him as being from Fairplay, Colorado, the home of his parents and where his brother was born. Dean grew up on a small place north of Colorado Springs where he raised the usual farm animals and spent time with his horse Chico, a US army horse.

He then worked both for himself and for private firms as a land planner before returning to a full-time art career. Following College Dean studied with many of the top artistist in the west to develope his painting skills. in addition his friendships allowed him t

It is narrated by the young Mikey, a would-be writer, whose father feels the same desire to leave. The New York Times said it "deftly weld[ed] magic realism with social satire". Entertainment Weekly gave it a B− saying it turned into a very conventional coming-of-age story.People gave it 3.5/4.

In 2017, James Franco's Rabbit Bandini films released a film version of the novel, entitled Don't Come Back from the Moon, starring Franco, Rashida Jones, and Jeffrey Wahlberg. Bruce Thierry Cheung directed the film version, which was co-written by Bakopoulos.

My American Unhappiness (2011), his second novel, is narrated by Zeke Pappas, a young man compiling an inventory of American unhappiness for a struggling non-profit organization.

Summerlong, his third novel, was published by Ecco in June 2015. It was named a "best book" of 2017 by National Public Radio, which praised its sadly funny vibe, saying,
