Why They Killed Big Boy
"Hop up on the old truck seat next to Mike Perry as he racks up the miles...his perceptive, witty, unpretentious writing shows a respect for his fellow travellers, whether he's riding with kids to a Christmas event or bouncing down the road toward home."   --Marcy Tveidt, Minnesota Public Radio"Mike Perry's writing is fresh, witty, and rich in quirky detail.  He creates characters worth remembering, takes you on journeys you'll not easily forget.  He is an emerging writer who brings fun to the emerging genre of creative nonfiction."   --Jeanne Marie Laskas, The Balloon Lady and Other People I Know"This is writing which frequently evokes small-town life, and yet, mercifully avoids setimentality or treacle.  A story like 'Shooting the Split' is a parable for our age; in 'Saving the Kidneys' we find aspects of a foreign landscape among the familiar."    --Gayle Pemberton, The Hottest Water in Chicago: On Family, Race, Time, and American Culture
