About this ebook
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. 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.

Reviews for Buddha Was a Cowboy
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Parami 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.
