Review

“Of the recent books extolling and commending French essayist Michel de Montaigne, Michael Perry’s new one might be the Montaignest.” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)“Readers will laugh out loud frequently while taking in this very funny memoir, as this reviewer did, yet it’s a profound laughter, the kind that gets you thinking…. One couldn’t hope for a better introduction to the work of Perry or Montaigne.” (Library Journal, starred review)“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)“Perry’s refreshing candor, the essence of the personal essay, serves him well…. ‘You read Montaigne, you feel like you have a friend,’ writes the author, and so readers are likely to feel about Perry.” (Kirkus)

Perry is no more an expert on Montaigne or French philosophy than he is an expert on International trucks or canons. But in this, his latest memoir, he applies his masterful “poeprose” (a term I just made up for the beautiful way he can write about everything from mundanity to masturbation [and yes, he goes there]), to a guy who’s been dead for more than 400 years.I’m an unabashed fan of Perry, so this review is not without bias (and not of the implicit variety). But I submit that if you like adroit storytelling about life in rural Wisconsin, you’ll too become a fan. I’ve read just about everything he’s written in the last dozen years and each has had a direct impact on my life:“Population 485” made me a better reader (and writer).“Truck” made me a better gardener.“Coop” made me a better spouse and parent.“Visiting Tom” made me a better neighbor.“Montaigne in Barn Boots” will help me to be better on myself (and others).I could go on. I take something from each of his works, whether it’s a full length book or a short Wisconsin State Journal essay. But this one, “Montaigne in Barn Boots: An Amateur Ambles Through Philosophy,” it’s different. It’s harder. It’s truer. It’s worth it! He lets us in on a few secrets. In doing so, he invites us to look within our own selves.Do yourself a favor and download the audiobook version of this. In my opinion, all of his books are best heard straight from the source. Or, do what I did and pick up both the audio and hardcover versions. You’ll also want to purchase the jumbo-sized pack of highlighters to help get you through this quotable volume. Just take care not to leave it in the seat-back of an airplane when you are done marking it up.

The thing about Michael Perry is that he has a renaissance mind. I think he'd be the first to say he isn't a renaissance man, but his mind... from the lyrical authenticity of Population 485 through the musings on truckers, workers, music, pigs, chickens and all the other amazing work on the way to this latest book... will just think about ANYTHING. And share those thoughts in ways that enrich the outlook and sensibility of anyone who reads him. Just so grateful to the paramedic son who gave me my first Perry book, and put me on this reading journey.

Thanks to Michael for giving us this book. It is rather like the time one finds out that your best friend, a parent, or even ones self is more complicated and human than seen from the outside. Once the curtain is drawn back a decision must be made...do we still like, admire, accept as we did before? In this case, the answer is yes! It has been said that autobiographical writing is selfish. However, I found this book to be a generous look into this author's life: sometimes complicated, consistently humorus, and always humane.

If it is any indicator, this is my least favorite of Perry's books and it still earned five stars from me. I'm still not nearly as interested in Montaigne as I am in Michael Perry, but I loved how he made this premise work with the weaving he did. I guess my preference is still the barn boots without the Montaigne, but I really enjoyed the walk nonetheless.

This book was my introduction to Montaigne (dead French philosopher/essayist) - and Michael Perry (living American humorist/all-round good guy). I found it to be a very comfortable, enjoyable introduction to what otherwise could have been an intimidating topic. Even if you think you have no particular interest in Montaigne at the outset, I'd recommend this fun introduction to two minds surprisingly in sync with each other. Myself, I'm looking forward to reading more of each!

As usual while reading Mr. Perry's books, I giggle and snort out loud."... I worry sometimes that she is just biding her time, gathering the evidence necessary to place me under professional supervision."I, too, am married to a patient soul and outpace my bride by a decade plus, it's only a matter of time before she has enough proof to make the call.As with much of Mike's writing, I nod in agreement while reading and say, "That's me!"

Montaigne (1533-1592) wrote about his life, his thoughts, events around him. Michael Perry follows Montaigne's comments with his own, up-to-date insights about being a human, being a man, aging, loving and enjoying life. Totally wonderful book!

A hearty la cheeserie to fellow little Mr perry. Above he writes readable, relatable, stories. He goes hi and low brow but it always comes back to a level of pure enjoyment.
