Chris Heath, winner of the 2013 National Magazine Award for Reporting, is a staff writer at GQ.\n\n"I present myself as someone who is going to be rigorous and honest. And if you can engage in the way I'm asking you to engage, then I hope you will recognize yourself in a more truthful way in this story than you usually do. And maybe even, with a bit of luck, more than you ever have before. That's what I bring. That's my offer."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and the Literary Reportage Department at NYU's Arthur L.
