The longform article I chose to read came straight from longreads called “The Life and Murder of Stella Walsh, Intersex Olympic Champion.”
This piece details the life and death of Walsh, as well as the secret she kept from everyone. It starts out with Walsh’s murder and subsequent secret reveal. It then reverts back to her early years and many of her illustrious accomplishments.
What I liked about this article’s structure was the way it was able to jump from topic to topic seamlessly. He’d introduce new characters when it was appropriate and did a fine job of including every last detail into this piece.
He looked at both sides with an open mind. He didn’t interject his opinion into this piece visually. From what Rob Tannenbaum gave us, we have to determine our selves which side he chose.
Overall, it was a very good read, a LONG one for sure. It brought a story that was forgotten for a while back into the spotlight, with a 2016 twist.
