The Boomer Archaeologist: A Graphic Memoir of Tribes, Identity, and the Holy Land by Thomas Evan Levy; Equinox Publishing; (c) 2025; ISBN 9781800-506954, 400 pages; $39.95. By Rabbi Dr. Michael Leo SamuelCHULA VISTA, California — Thomas Evan Levy’s The Boomer Archaeologist: A Graphic Memoir of Tribes, Identity, and the Holy Land is a vibrant fusion of personal memoir, archaeological scholarship, and graphic storytelling that vividly excavates the intersections of identity, culture, and scientific innovation. The memoir begins in the tumultuous 1960s, a period of social upheaval and countercultural energy that shaped Levy’s early fascination with history and Jewish culture. Thematically, the book explores tribes, identity, and the Holy Land, using Levy’s career as a lens for broader societal reflections. The Boomer Archaeologist is a substantial yet engaging work, rich with humor (self-deprecating tales of field adventures), profundity (musings on mortality amid ruins), and visual splendor.
