Judges called Luongo's story "a riveting read", saying the story "details the harrowing task of survival, not only in a war zone but also as an outsider in one's own culture. A thorough, well-researched and compelling article on a most timely topic."
I thought Luongo's story was fantastic and by chance happened to get to tell him so on the day it was published. Go check it out.
