Michael Perry, the beloved author of Population: 485 and Truck: A Love Story, is back with Coop: A Family, a Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg.

Newly installed in a rickety Wisconsin farmhouse with thirty-seven acres of overgrown farmland, a handful of chickens on order, a pig pen to build, and a baby due to be born in the upstairs bedroom, Perry plumbs his unorthodox farm kid past for clues to navigating the present.

Jonathan Miles, author of Dear American Airlines, said of Coop, "You can read Michael Perry's Coop as an outrageously funny comedy about a semi-hapless neophyte navigating the pitfalls (and pratfalls) of farming life. Please do, in fact. But scratch a little deeper, past Perry's lusciously entertaining and epigrammatic prose, his ultra-charming combo of Midwestern earnestness and serrated wit, and you'll find a reflective, sincere, and surprisingly touching - at times, even heart-cracking - story about a man struggling to put down roots."
