News: What led Peru's former president to take his own life

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/08/what-led-perus-former-president-to-take-his-own-life

It was a month or so ago when I read this.  I had never heard of this man, nor his party, though I considered myself somewhat abreast of things in Peru.

Well, I guess I wasn't.  It was well written, I remember.  With information, portraits, people, perspective, and tidbits.  There was drama.  This story feels real, yet I don't feel like I have all of it.  The author is honest enough about that being the case, at least.  It is a story of a person and a politician, and a scandal and politics.  Built out of pixels.
