Descripción de Michael Perry discusses his humorous novel 'The Jesus Cow'

Michael Perry, who has built a loyal audience with his popular memoirs (including “Truck” and “Coop”), reads from his humorous debut novel “The Jesus Cow.” -- With his eye (and ear) for the comical elements of contemporary rural life, New York Times-bestselling author Michael Perry turns to fiction with “The Jesus Cow,” an affectionately skewed and big-hearted depiction of one miraculous bovine and the chaos it unleashes. -- Life is suddenly full of drama for Wisconsin farmer Harley Jackson when he finds a newborn calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ. Harley attempts to suppress the “miracle,” fails spectacularly, and the Jesus Cow goes viral. His peaceful, hometown is quickly overrun with pilgrims, grifters and clamoring media. Then a Hollywood agent jets in with plans to turn Harley’s farm into a neon-lit cheesehead version of Lourdes. -- Julie Schumacher (author of “Dear Committee Members”) called the novel a “wildly comic and deeply felt examination of faith, combining politics, scandal, farming, love, environmentalism and rural philosophy.” -- Michael Perry is a radio host, songwriter and the New York Times bestselling author of several nonfiction books (including "Truck: A Love Story," "Visiting Tom" and "Coop: A Family, a Farm and the Pursuit of One Good Egg"). Although he performs widely as a humorist, the stylistic elements of Perry’s writing have led to several music-based collaborations, most recently with Justin Vernon of the band Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner of The National. A registered nurse by training, Perry lives in northern Wisconsin with his family, where he volunteers with the local rescue service.
