Gay Talese was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, in 1932, to Italian immigrant parents. He attended the University of Alabama, and after graduating was hired as a copyboy at the New York Times. After a brief stint in the army, Talese returned to the New York Times in 1956. Since then he has written for numerous publications, including Esquire, the New Yorker, Newsweek, and Harper's Magazine. It was these articles that led Tom Wolfe to credit Gay Talese with the creation of an inventive form of nonfiction writing called "The New Journalism." Talese's bestselling books have dealt with the history and influence of the New York Times (The Kingdom and the Power); the inside story of a Mafia family (Honor Thy Father); his father's immigration to America from Italy in the years preceding World War II (Unto the Sons); and the changing moral values of America in the period between World War II and the AIDS epidemic (Thy Neighbor's Wife). Gay Talese lives with his wife, Nan, in New York City.

评分体裁算是比较特殊的,非虚构的写作手法也令人称赞。看之前更多期待有关个体行为的描述,比如旅客的职业和对话等,但journal中关于这方面的记录非常有限,大约七成的篇幅都是关于旅客的性生活,不过这也符合情境,毕竟Gerald无法探知旅客的身份和行程,并且偷窥的主要目的还是满...

On January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of Thy Neighbor’s Wife, Gay Talese received an anonymous letter from a man in Colorado. “Since learning of your long awaited study of coast-to-coast sex in America,” the letter began, “I feel I have important information that I could contribute to its contents or to contents of a future book.” The man went on to tell Talese a remarkable, shocking secret, so compelling that Talese traveled to Colorado to verify it in person. But because the letter-writer insisted on remaining anonymous, Talese filed his reporting away, certain the story would remain untold.
Over the next thirty-five years, the man occasionally reached out to Talese to fill him in on the latest developments in his life, but he continued to insist on anonymity. Finally, after thirty-five years, he’s ready to go public.
In the tradition of Thy Neighbor’s Wife, Talese’s landmark, best-selling exploration of the sexual revolution in America, this will be a provocative, eye-opening, and much-talked-about book.
Gerald Foos bought a motel in order to watch his guests having sex. He saw a lot more than that.“I’ve seen enough.”
评分洞察人性的独特视角,将性和性格加以联系反观性的意义。Gay Talese发现手稿中很多时间与事实不符,但经历大体是真实的,motel host对每次被偷窥者所作的总结,几十年算下来是巨大的工夫。reflection掩盖不了偷窥的事实,道德上应受惩罚,但"research"材料确实很珍贵。Gay Talese有诺兰感
评分真实事件的设定,电影情节般的临场感,的确扣人心弦,而失望在似乎也没有看到任何超越「窥探欲」之外的洞见跟思考。Via NYR.
评分Time is changing. All the "kinky" sex now is available on every kind of free porn channel. Sex is not the book's point after all, life is just boring and way too short at the same time. .
评分这种Freak就该被告到死——只有单一来源和视角的读物免不了有夸大以及虚构的部分,果不其然,Gay Talese和Blaine Harden一样,被他们的sources骗了
