Our Longreads Member Pick: Platinum, by Thao Nguyen

Dear Longreads Members,

For those of you in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving! Our latest Member Exclusive is a short, but wonderful story by singer Thao Nguyen, published in Radio Silence. It's about her encounter with an inmate at a women's prison who has refused to give up.

As always, your generous support is helping make these stories possible. Thank you.
