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.

偷窥成为志业,为此经营一家汽车旅馆三十年,坚持科学记录,结论众多。报道出版后立刻被买了电影改编,Sam Mendes当导演。 也没什么想不到的内容,不外乎性与情结构里的令人沮丧。偷窥者本人在故事里婚姻幸福,春光渐渐看厌后,生出对他人情爱的哀其不幸怒其不争。定目标要见...
评分 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.
光这个设定就够YY一年了...前半部分比后半部分好看,虽然越往后角度越开阔,但很显然大家的兴趣都集中在那回事上~不禁畅想如果有日本轻小说或者动漫愿意用这个设定会怎样...
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. .
评分将自己视为人类观察家,甚至与斯诺登相提并论,担得起“whistle-blower”美名的偷窥狂。见证美国性开放、媒介变革并批判如今government监控民众现象的自恋狂。满足欲望的过程中开拓了新的性视野,对人性产生怀疑。姑且不论是否变态,其收藏运动员卡片的爱好和五十年两段婚姻中只出过一次轨的坚定让人称奇。Gay Talese还是很会写,尤其结尾:偷窥者面对只剩一片废墟的自己的试验室,坦然告别,“I’ve seen enough.”
评分不是病毒蹲都不知道能这么快看完一本英文书……以及观感很复杂
评分Gerald Foos bought a motel in order to watch his guests having sex. He saw a lot more than that.“I’ve seen enough.”
