Sinopse
This audio also includes eight wise and witty essays selected from Perry's new book, Off Main Street. Whether fighting fires, playing nurse to a murderer, hitting the road with a truck driver, or meditating on Elvis and osmosis, Perry shows us that his small-town roots have not limited his worldview; in fact, they've enlarged it in some of the subtlest, most observant, and memorable ways possible. This collection is a diverse and generous survey of the author's talents as a journalist, penetrating observer, and rural-bred storyteller of Wisconsin.

"Tragic at times, funny at others, Perry's memoir will appeal to anyone curious about small-town life." (Booklist)
Resumo editorial
Population: 485 is a pleasant respite from our fast-paced lives where emails come flying in every few minutes, friends you don't remember you had fill your computer with silly updates, and kids can manipulate a computer program but can't start a conversation. Michael Perry's collection of essays, performed here pleasantly by the author himself, is a considerate look at some of the stories we let go unnoticed all around us. With his witty and empathetic styling, Perry brings listeners back to a time of small towns and tall tales, when the most dangerous vigilante was an old lady with a pistol and a Bible.
