Summary: Another Fabulous Volume From Mr. Perry
Review: Joel Perry's "That's Why They're In Cages, People!" is further proof that Mr. Perry is one of our premiere essayists. Alternately funny, moving, and thought-provoking (and sometimes combinations of all three), this latest collection is a delight for anyone who enjoys good writing.

Summary: Fall on the floor funny
Review: Joel Perry's insight into gay life and how we fit into the world as a whole is just dead on. Combine this with his lively wit and you have some of the best essays you will read anytime soon. I took it to read while dining alone and had to put it away because I was laughing out loud in the resturant.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Lots of laugh-out-louds in this one! Joel Perry's dry (and sometimes wet) wit produces some of the funniest material in print on the entertainment-slash-gay-slash-celebrity "scene", in my not-so-humble opinion. He's sometimes a bit catty (think David Sedaris with balsamic vinegar), but never cruel. And I actually got some recipe ideas from the book (ramen noodles with Veg-all... mmmm!). A good Valentine's Day present for your sweetie.
