Books by Cheryl Strayed

Cheryl Strayed is an American author and essayist born in 1968. Wild, her first memoir, became a number-one New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a 2014 film starring Reese Witherspoon. She is also the author of the novel Torch and the essay collection Tiny Beautiful Things, drawn from her years writing the Dear Sugar advice column anonymously for The Rumpus. Strayed has taught writing at the University of Portland and lives in Portland, Oregon. Wild remains the book most closely associated with her, though her advice writing built a devoted following independently of it.
