Our Longreads Member Pick: A Meditation on Pain

Illustration by Kjell Reigstad

Dear Longreads Members,

We're proud to share our latest Member Exclusive, "A Meditation on Pain," an essay from Ira Sukrungruang, who provides one of the most visceral descriptions of what it's like to experience the unbearable pain that comes with cluster headaches. The story comes from Ashland, Ohio’s narrative nonfiction journal, River Teeth.

Your generous support is what makes these stories possible. Thank you.
