Linda asked Cheryl Strayed:

I am such a solid fan of yours. Besides Wild, I have absolutely loved Tiny Beautiful Things and especially the Dear Sugar columns. You have a special gift for keeping a finger on the inner human pulse. Will you ever publish more in the vein of Dear Sugar? We need a straightforward voice out here like yours.

Cheryl Strayed Thank you, Linda! That is so kind. Writing the Dear Sugar columns was a revelatory experience for me. I never imagined I'd write an advice column. I think that I explored and expressed so much in those columns and I reached a point where I felt like I'd said everything I have to say in that vein, which is the reason I shifted to doing Dear Sugar as a podcast instead. (If you're not aware of it, you can find the show on iTunes or on wbur.org. It's called Dear Sugar Radio.) Having said that, one never knows what's ahead, so perhaps I will write more Dear Sugar in the future. Thanks for reading my work!

Best,

Cheryl
