The bucolic plague: how two Manhattanites became gentleman farmers: an unconventional memoir - Kilmer-Purcell, Josh

Summary: "Michael Perry meets David Sedaris in this follow-up to Josh Kilmer-Purcell's beloved and bestselling debut memoir, I AM NOT MYSELF THESE DAYS--another riotous, moving, and entirely unique story of his attempt to tackle the next phase of life with his partner on a goat farm in upstate New York"--Provided by publisher.

Staff Review
Josh is a hilarious writer, as fans of his previous more gritty memoir can attest. This memoir centers around he and his partners purchase of the amazing old Beekman Mansion in upstate New York, sort of accidentally becoming goat farmers, and being embraced by their new community of characters. Bonus is that his partner Brent worked for Martha Stewart Omnimedia as "Dr. Brent" for several years, so there's great insider hilarity about Martha-World. They can now be seen as "The Beekman Boys" on Planet Green.
