Hunker

Brief Essays on Human Connection

By: Michael Perry

Narrated by: Michael Perry

Another in a series (including From the Top, Roughneck Grace, Million Billion, and Peaceful Persistence) of collected brief essays by New York Times best-selling author and humorist Michael Perry. "Although these pieces were written during times of unrest and pandemic, they drew on human connection," says Perry. "Week after week, slowly at first, and then regularly, I received messages, emails, comments, and sometimes even a handwritten note from readers who weren't looking to me for advice or a 'take' on the latest news blast or controversy or tragedy or variant. Instead they said they were grateful for a brief break from it all. Something to go with their morning coffee. Something to read before bed. Something heartfelt, something goofy. Something that was anything but that other thing. Something to lighten the hunker."

excellent book

one of the few audio books in which having the author as narrator is actually a good idea.

Good Audiobook

Michael Perry makes me feel nostalgic about the 1/3rd of my childhood spent in rural Wisconsin and that's something I thought I was immune to.

Another Perry Gem!

Just read (listen to) it!! If you’re already familiar with Michael Perry, you will no doubt love this book too. If you’re new to the author and won a comforting reflection back on the years around in 2020 this is a book for you.
