A progressive, alternative university is targeted for takeover by conservative forces in this satiric tale.  Aaron Motherway is a Hollywood screenwriter who, while recovering from a traffic accident, is tapped to run the arts program at Parami University, located in Pearl Handle, Wyoming.   What Aaron doesn't know is that he is being set up to fail by various duplicitous forces, and he finds himself immersed in a culture war infused with sexual misconduct, embezzlement, political opportunism, and potential mass murder, played out in a climate of comedic dysfunction and absurdity.   His charming and able assistant has his back, fending off a demented poet and venomous colleagues. And he gains the loyalty of some very challenged students--a murderer, a lobster wrangler, and an apostate.   But there are surprises in store for Aaron before the story reaches a dramatic conclusion.   Buddha Was a Cowboy is a metaphor for many of the issues engulfing and dividing America today, and a darkly humorous take on the current cultural landscape.… (plus d'informations)

Parami University is an alternative Christen university located in Wyoming where Arron Motherway, a Hollywood screenwriter is hired to run the Liberal Arts program after lecturing a course over the summer. Unbeknownst to him, he was hired to take the fall for some corrupt faculty members. If you read this a straight forward novel, you will be lost, but as a satire of our current cultural climate, you may enjoy it. He definitely hits the mark with the craziness we are currently experiencing. ( )

Although a little bit uneven overall I really enjoyed reading this book. Portions of it made me laugh out loud and then read those sections to others. Burke captures some of the absurdity in the current cultural clone.
