Join us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the experiences of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them. In his memoir, Population: 485, Perry tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy. Jesus Cow, Perry’s fiction debut, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life.
