DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist M
 ichael Perry, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the ex
 periences–and the magic–of rural town communities and the everyday peo
 ple who reside in them. In Michael Perry’s memoir, Population: 485, th
 e 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 b
 utcher with one kidney and two ex-wives, and the back roads are haunted by
  the ghosts of children and farmers. Against a backdrop of fires and tangl
 ed wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Perry tells a frequently comic tale
  leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy. Jes
 us Cow, Perry’s fiction debut, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of
  faith and the foibles of modern life. Low-key Harley Jackson finds himsel
 f entangled in drama from all corners: A woman in a big red pickup has sto
 len his bachelor’s heart, a Hummer-driving predatory developer is threat
 ening to pave the last vestiges of his family farm, and inside his barn is
  a calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ–a secret he wants to keep quie
 t, until the truth slips right through the barn door.
