Cheryl Strayed: Growing up in rural Minnesota
Nov 1st, 2007 by jennie
Cheryl Strayed experienced a range of living situations in her childhood, from apartment living to camping in rural Minnesota. Her mother told her that these experiences would be “character building,” but she didn’t come to truly appreciate them until adulthood. Now her experiences serve as fodder for her writing. In this podcast, you’ll hear excerpts from Cheryl’s interview with writer’s program curator Matt Briggs and her reading at a live performance at Jack Straw Productions.
This podcast was produced as part of the 2007 Jack Straw Writers Program. All of the writers heard in this series are published in the Jack Straw Writers Anthology.
Music in this podcast is performed by Sheila Fox and recorded through the Jack Straw Artist Support Program.
