Cheryl Strayed
Nascido: September 17, 1968 – Spangler, Pennsylvania, United States
Cheryl Strayed is an American memoirist, novelist, and essayist whose work explores grief, addiction, love, and self-discovery. She is best known for the memoir Wild and the essay collection Tiny Beautiful Things; Wild became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and was adapted into an acclaimed film.
Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Cheryl Strayed was born in Pennsylvania and came of age in rural northern Minnesota, where part of her adolescence unfolded in a house her mother and stepfather built without indoor plumbing, electricity, or running water. She earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and later an M.F.A. in fiction writing from Syracuse University. In interviews, she has described college as the decisive shift that made a literary life seem imaginable, and graduate school as the period when the first half of her debut novel, Torch, took shape.
