Cheryl Strayed, the author of the beloved “Dear Sugar” column, has seen her life adapted for the screen before. But turning a decade of personal advice into eight episodes of TV was a challenge. She breaks down that challenge for beastobsessed:
made—were those books I wrote. Those were my sole creations. Nothing that would happen to them on the screen would change that work. What I got to do with both projects, and I was very involved with both, was to have a free and open heart and a sense of excitement. Now, here are these other artists who want to collaborate with me on a different vision, an adaptation, and interpretation of something that I made by myself.
Inevitably, in giving advice, I think about my own life and often share stories from my own life. So we thought, “What if we really just told a story about this character who is offering others wisdom while also seeking it for herself?”,”, you’ve got Clare thinking about the different ways her life could’ve played out. She’s envisioned hiking on a snowy mountain in another life.
I know this is a limited series, but if the masses demand that we must come back and give you more Sugar, as Liz and I have both said, sign us up! We’re all in. Whatever it is, those things happened. They happened 300 years ago, and they’re probably going to be happening 300 years from now. What I found when I read it again was that there’s nothing in there that’s not really true anymore.
