Description
Chris Heath, winner of the 2013 National Magazine Award for Reporting, is a staff writer at GQ.
"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."
