Summary
"Written in a spirit of exploration rather than declaration, Montaigne in Barn Boots is a down-to-earth (how do you pronounce that last name?) look into the ideas of a philosopher who 'composed essays while ensconced in a castle tower overlooking his vineyard' channeled by a Midwestern American writing 'in a room above the garage overlooking a disused pig pen.' Whether grabbing an electrified fencer, fighting fires, failing to fix a truck, or feeding chickens, Perry blends his personal experiences with Montaigne's illuminating essays to offer his own poignant (and hilarious) meditations on human nature."--Front flap of jacket
