"Montaigne in Barn Boots":
"Perry's poignant, balanced, achingly funny prose is more than an ode to or critique of Michel De Montaigne. Instead Perry uses the original essays to better understand his own life and bring a bit more humanity to an increasingly divisive world" - Los Angeles Review of Books
