<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Educated</em> meets <em>Dispatches from Pluto</em>, but with more explosions. The story of an unlikely journey from a poverty-stricken upbringing in the Mississippi backwoods to a career in academic archaeology. Along the way one encounters homemade cannons, untethered nuclear bombs, zombie cheeseburgers, country music sycophants, demonic rodents, screaming wood, mechanical butts, grease sandwiches, ancient artifacts, and the deleterious consequences of racist thinking. Ultimately a story of love, family, and the redemptive power of education, <em>Kudzu on the Ivory Tower</em> is "a mélange of Franklin's <em>Autobiography</em>, Rousseau's <em>Confessions</em>, Chateaubriand's <em>Memoirs from Beyond the Tomb</em>, and <em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em>".</p>
