Secret Historian

Spring's portrayal of Steward's life as a professor, tattoo artist, and sexual renegade offers a complex portrait. I'm curious what motivated this multifaceted approach.

The inclusion of Steward’s personal writings and tattoos made him feel real and human. Did these elements deepen anyone else's connection to his story?

Navigating the line between biography and respecting an individual's privacy must have been challenging. I wonder what choices influenced what was shared or left out.
