Our Best of 2021 series continues! Today, our editors share their favorite features of the year in @nybooks, @NYMag/@verge, @NewYorker, @atavist, @GQMagazine, and @TheAtlantic: longreads.com/2021/12/16/bes… #longreads
"This isn’t just the best feature I read this year. It’s one of the best I’ve ever read, period." Take the time to read @NathanThrall's masterpiece on the reality of Palestinian life and one father's quest to find his son: nybooks.com/daily/2021/03/…
"Dzieza’s remarkable feature rides along with the riders as they fight for protection and autonomy." We also recommend @joshdzieza's outstanding piece on the exploitation of delivery workers in NYC: curbed.com/article/nyc-de…
"This is an extraordinary piece on wartime life across Afghanistan’s dangerous rural terrain." @Anand_Gopal_'s reporting on the American War in Afghanistan, through the eyes of women living in the countryside, is essential reading: newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
"As two families navigate difficult times, Jones provides thoughtful insight into a unique, and beautiful, culture." We also loved @LindsayLeeJones' incredible story about two babies swapped at birth in Newfoundland: magazine.atavist.com/the-lives-of-o…
"Alm’s piece is a moving portrait of hope and perseverance, community and camaraderie." @DavidGeoffreyA's story about a group of Ethiopian runners trying to build a new life in the Bronx is powerful and beautifully told: gq.com/story/ethiopia…
"Through the intensely personal price paid by a single family on and after 9/11, Senior underscores the day’s toll on America at large." Finally, we savored every single word of @JenSeniorNY's astonishing, emotional piece about grief and loss after 9/11: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
The authors we featured today shared a few favorite #longreads as well. @CarlosLozadaWP for @washingtonpost, Gideon Lewis-Kraus and @stillsarita for @NewYorker, @rozina_ali for @NYTmag, and @lizweil for @propublica are also recognized in this list: longreads.com/2021/12/16/bes…
