Creates the literary advice column as memoir — Tiny Beautiful Things's approach (Sugar answering reader questions with personal stories and emotional honesty rather than practical advice) transformed the advice column into a literary form; its combination of vulnerability and earned wisdom is the model for contemporary personal essay.
