The Networker

Long articles are often difficult to read especially if the topic disinterests you. But Ken Auletta’s article The Networker proves otherwise.

Auletta presented Afghanistan’s media mogul Saad Mohseni’s personal and professional lives like he is telling a story. This is the beauty of this article. Although you are not completely eager to know about Mosheni, you become so as new parts of the story unfold. Auletta makes you interested. His storytelling has smooth transitions which guide the readers until the end.

However, readers who are unfamiliar with Central Asian names will have trouble remembering them. This is out of the author’s hands though. Other than that, the words used are common and are easy in the eyes.

The article is long but engaging.
