Michael Perry

Michael Perry

New York Times bestselling author, humorist, radio show host and lead singer, Michael Perry

lives near the small community of New Auburn in Northwestern Wisconsin. He writes of life in

a rural environment, encompassing his involvement in community affairs as a volunteer

firefighter and EMT. Perry tells stories of different characters in the vicinity in a loving, witty

manner. His essays and nonfiction have been published in several publications including the

New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Runner’s World, and he is a contributing editor to Men’s

Health Magazine.

Author Michael Korda’s review of Population: 485 perhaps best describes Perry’s books: “Often

funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always full of life, characters and the tangled web of small-

town history, daily drama, and strain of occasional weirdness that make country living such a

challenge and an adventure...A joy of a book."
