Writer c d kaplan is known in local circles for his observations of "the passing scene".

The self-proclaimed "Culture Maven" says he's been writing seriously since 1990, after he was hit by a car while jogging. At that time, kaplan says, "I figured if I had something to say I’d better start saying it."

Since then, kaplan has been writing for the LEO (Louisville Eccentric Observer) - everything from music reviews to a sports column. One of his most popular features is called “The Culture Maven." He's also had pieces published in the Courier-Journal.
