From Nieman Storyboard, an interview with David Grann about his New Yorker portrait of William Morgan, "an American ne’er-do-well who drifted from vocation to vocation (including fire-eater) before finding his way to Cuba," becoming a hero of the Revolution, then, 19 months later, an accused traitor facing a firing squad. Grann discusses how he reconstructed events from 50 years ago via documents and interviews with Morgan's contemporaries.
