The Guest Room by Rona Halsall

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--from a son who shot his father (but everyone thinks his mother did it) to an art student whose project featuring a live lobster goes awry, bringing on the fury of animal rights activists, to a desperate student who rejects the religious doctrines of a new professor.


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.
