Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome bestselling author of the memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, CHERYL STRAYED, for a discussion of her latest book, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar.
Life can be hard: your lover cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can’t pay the bills—and it can be great: you’ve had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar—the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed—is the person thousands turn to for advice.
Tiny Beautiful Things brings the best of Dear Sugar in one place and includes never-before-published columns. Rich with humor, insight, compassion—and absolute honesty—this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.
“These pieces are nothing short of dynamite, the kind of remarkable, revelatory storytelling that makes young people want to become writers in the first place. Over here at the Salon offices, we're reading the columns with boxes of tissue and raised fists of solidarity, shaking our heads with awe and amusement.” —Sarah Hepola, Salon
