Today in the ArtZany Radio studio Paula Granquist welcomes New York Times bestselling author, humorist, singer/songwriter, and playwright Michael Perry to preview his visit to the Grand Event Center in Northfield and check-in on his latest projects and events and his novel Forty Acres Deep. This is a story that comes with a warning – this is an intimate telling of the life of farmer and philosopher Harold and his struggle to make sense of the world after the death of his wife and child, a story about relentless winter in the changing rural landscape, a story about making connections in community, living with grief, and suicide. We’ll also visit about his collection Hunker: Brief Essays on Human Connection. This is a book that he wrote during the time of the pandemic and reports he “wobbled between feeling I was failing to meet the moment and feeling I was a grandiose fool to think anyone was asking.” He lives in rural Wisconsin and can be found online at SneezingCow.com
An Evening with Michael Perry and Benjamin Percy: Saturday April 27th, 2024 @ 7:00PM – 8:00PM, Grand Event Center, 316 Washington Street, Northfield, MN
