About the Author
Michael Perry is a Wisconsin-based author, humorist, and radio host whose writing captures the quirky essence of rural American life with sharp wit and heartfelt insight. Raised on a dairy farm in the Driftless Area, Perry draws from his experiences as a nurse, truck driver, and storyteller to explore themes of faith, family, and the absurdities of everyday existence. His debut novel, The Jesus Cow: A Witty and Big-Hearted Comedy About Faith and Chaos in Small-Town Wisconsin, showcases his talent for blending humor with profound observations on community and spirituality. Perry's essays and memoirs have earned him a devoted following, appearing in publications like The New York Times and on NPR's This American Life. When not writing, he performs live storytelling and hosts his own radio show, Truck Cracker.
