Cheryl Strayed

Cheryl Strayed is an American author best known for her memoir 'Wild', which recounts her journey of self-discovery along the Pacific Crest Trail.

"It isn't enough to have had an interesting or hilarious or tragic life. Art isn't anecdote. It's the consciousness we bring to bear on our lives. For what happened in the story to transcend the limits of the personal, it must be driven by the engine of what the story means."
