Through a com­ing-of-age sto­ry begin­ning in the wild 1960s, the author of this graph­ic mem­oir reflects on a career as a world-renowned spe­cial­ist in the archae­ol­o­gy of the Holy Land, as some­one who is seek­ing to under­stand the evo­lu­tion of social inequal­i­ty and who dis­cov­ers a lot about his own Jew­ish iden­ti­ty in the process.
