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.
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.
A weird book about weird people doing weird things, and I wouldn’t have put it down if the house were on fire
評分將自己視為人類觀察傢,甚至與斯諾登相提並論,擔得起“whistle-blower”美名的偷窺狂。見證美國性開放、媒介變革並批判如今government監控民眾現象的自戀狂。滿足欲望的過程中開拓瞭新的性視野,對人性産生懷疑。姑且不論是否變態,其收藏運動員卡片的愛好和五十年兩段婚姻中隻齣過一次軌的堅定讓人稱奇。Gay Talese還是很會寫,尤其結尾:偷窺者麵對隻剩一片廢墟的自己的試驗室,坦然告彆,“I’ve seen enough.”
評分真實事件的設定,電影情節般的臨場感,的確扣人心弦,而失望在似乎也沒有看到任何超越「窺探欲」之外的洞見跟思考。Via NYR.

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...
評分 評分 評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...
