I’m a long-form journalism junkie and Kevin Kelly’s The Best Magazine Articles Ever is my dealer.
John H. Richardson crafted a fantastic profile of Newt Gingrich for the September issue of Esquire. It examines the contradictions between Gingrich’s public persona and private life, at times deliberate and idealistic and at others impulsive and craven.
I forwarded the story to Kelly with this description: Newt Gingrich, architect and arsonist. Perhaps too pithy, but to be honest, convincing people to read about Newt Gingrich is as hard as it sounds.
