Tickets still available for author Cheryl Strayed at Hyatt Regency on Wednesday

Author Cheryl Strayed

Best-selling author Cheryl Strayed — author of the memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail, an Oprah’s Book Club selection, and also Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Life and Love From Sugar, drawn from her once-anonymous columns for The Rumpus — will be in town Wednesday (Oct. 24) as guest of honor and speaker at the Friends of the Dallas Public Library’s fundraising dinner.

The event will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auctions starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a seated dinner and Strayed’s program. The author, who has spent some time in Texas, will be interviewed at 8:30 by Sarah Hepola, the personal essays editor at Salon.

Tickets for the entire shindig cost $150 each; $50 tickets (which include coffee and a $25-level membership in Friends of the DPL) are also available. Doors will open at 8 p.m. for $50-ticket holders.

The event will be in the Landmark Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 300 Reunion Blvd. in downtown Dallas. For tickets or more information, call 214-670-1458, email friends@dallaslibrary.org or visit fodpl.org.

Here’s Edward Nowatka’s interview with Strayed, which ran Oct. 21 in the newspaper.
