Tiny Beautiful Things
In 2010, Cheryl Strayed began writing ‘Dear Sugar,’ an advice column that appeared in The Rumpus, an online literary magazine. Writing under the pseudonym Sugar, Strayed imparted her frank yet heartfelt advice on readers for two years before revealing her identity in 2012. Tiny Beautiful Things is a collection of pieces from Strayed’s famous column, with topics ranging from workplace woes to the loss of a loved one. Tiny Beautiful Things was made into a Hulu series in 2023, and the 2012 novel has become a national bestseller.
