Memoir Book Club: Wild by Cheryl Strayed
About the event
Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we explore the art of memoir!
Book Selection: *Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by* Cheryl Strayed
About the Book: Our first selection will be Cheryl Strayed’s *Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail*, considered by many to be a classic modern memoir. After the death of her mother and the unraveling of her marriage, Strayed sets out alone on a 1,100-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, with little hiking experience and a great deal of emotional baggage.
But *Wild* is more than an extraordinary adventure story—it offers a fascinating look at how a writer can transform lived experience into narrative, using a physical journey to uncover a deeper story about grief, self-destruction, and the unexpected path toward healing.
Whether you’re an avid memoir reader, curious about the genre, or working on a memoir of your own, come share your ideas and connect with other readers and writers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
