TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS FINDS UNIVERSALITY BY HONORING THE SPECIFICS

This insightful book, a compilation of advice columns for online literary magazine The Rumpus, penned by critically acclaimed author Cheryl Strayed under her beloved pseudonym 'Sugar', is one I find myself drawing wisdom from time and time again. Somehow, it’s as if the people in these stories are not strangers but close friends who just so happened to reach into the void (aka the internet) for guidance. I first discovered Tiny Beautiful Things while browsing an adorable shop in my neighborhood, and after leafing through its pages, I knew I had to read it. That same weekend, I planned to make the eight-hour drive from Brooklyn to my hometown in upstate New York, so I opted to listen to the audiobook, making Strayed, who narrates her work, my sage companion for the ride.

My hunch is that the unique staying power of each column has a lot to do with the uniqueness of 'Sugar' herself. Rather than take on the role of All-Knowing Guru, Strayed bares her soul, sharing her deeply personal experiences so that the advice seeker may mine her life for wisdom rather than take advice the way one might take a pill. She is refreshingly honest, affirming the letter-writer's feelings two breaths before telling them why they are wrong. Listening to Strayed, I was reminded of one of my wisest and truest friends who, whenever I approach her for advice, will listen intently, tell me she loves me, and then announce, "I’m gonna scrape your face against reality," before dispensing some profoundly helpful but often uncomfortable tough love. The columns and stories are tangible threads, intertwining specific yet universal human experiences with such poignancy I couldn’t make it through the introduction without tearing up.

While most letters stand firmly on their own, independent countries in Sugar’s world of wisdom, one section of the book responds to multiple letters at once, all centering on the topic of yearning to leave relationships that don’t have any glaringly ugly problems. In this chapter, the individual letters seem to be in conversation with each other—words penned by people on opposite sides of the country seeming to effortlessly finish each other’s sentences. The result is a feeling of kinship with a largely unknown world. How can one deny the universality of the very problems that make us feel so alone when listening to these converging stories, one after the next?

Of course, certain columns spoke to me more than others, but I was pleasantly surprised by my ability to relate to nearly every selection in some way or another. While the column "Write Like a Motherf---er" spoke to me on a gut level, unsurprisingly, as the focus was on a woman in her late 20s who was struggling to move forward as a writer, a column about a long-married woman whose husband had betrayed her left me equally teary-eyed as I shifted through newfound feelings around the concept of forgiveness.

Strayed has often said of her work, "the only thing I ever hope to do as a writer is to make people feel less alone," and that is precisely what she has accomplished with this radically empathetic collection.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“To say that Cheryl Strayed is an Internet advice columnist does not do her justice. Tiny Beautiful Things is a gob-smacking high, a brilliant reinvention of the Miss Lonelyhearts genre. . . . This collection of poignant insights into the complexities of the human heart offers a form of radical empathy and inspired compassion from a fellow traveler—one who not only feels the pain of others but leads them toward light and art.” (Elizabeth Taylor, The Chicago Tribune)

"These pieces are nothing short of dynamite, the kind of remarkable, revelatory storytelling that makes young people want to become writers in the first place. Over here at the Salon offices, we're reading the columns with boxes of tissue and raised fists of solidarity, shaking our heads with awe and amusement." (Sarah Hepola, Salon)

“In this collection of her columns, Strayed proves herself to be an astute amateur psychologist, as well as a compassionate, thoughtful and occasionally tough counselor. As with all personal advice columns, the questions that readers pose to Sugar are at least as intriguing as the answers. Strayed . . . uses her own foibles and misdemeanors to show that ‘we all suffer, we all fail, we all struggle and triumph and struggle again.’” (Cynthia Crossen, The Wall Street Journal)

Painfully beautiful advice given with grace.

Cheryl Strayed offers tender, wise counsel to anonymous writers. Broke my heart open a bit wider and made me love humanity for all our common struggles.

True Cheryl fan

I, too, have struggled with heroine addiction and fancy myself an unpublished writer, even though I get paid to do accounting...I know I have a book in me, and ever time I listen to Cheryl’s work, I feel that much closer to cranking it out. Thanks Cheryl...please keep cranking them out...
