Bestsellers
make me curious. Sometimes they are worth attention, sometimes they
are all hype and bad taste--a great example of the latter is 50 Shades of Grey, which sold 700 million copies for content instead of good writing.
Then there are books that make it big and deserve it. One of these is the memoir by Cheryl Strayed, Wild.
I read Strayed's Wild and her compilation of advice from "The Rumpus" column, Tiny Beautiful Things.
Both books were so well crafted, so engaging, I've become one of those
readers who are eager to know more about Strayed's writing practice, her
ideas, and her book structure techniques--anything I can absorb.
