Join us in conversation with New York Times bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry.
Michael Perry will chat about his collection of genre-spanning works that encapsulates the experiences – and the magic – of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them. In Perry’s memoir, Population 485, the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives, and the ghosts of children and farmers haunt the back roads. Perry’s fiction debut, Jesus Cow, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life. In the book, low-key Harley Jackson finds himself entangled in drama from all corners.
About the Author: Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author, humorist, corporate speaker, volunteer firefighter/first responder, and amateur snowplow driver.
