Détails du produit
- On January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of his landmark bestseller Thy Neighbor’s Wife, Gay Talese received an anonymous handwritten 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 an astonishing secret: he had bought a motel outside Denver to satisfy his voyeuristic desires. Underneath the roof of his motel, the man had built an observation platform,” fitted with vents, through which he could watch his unwitting guests.Unsure what to make of this confession, Talese traveled to Colorado where he met the manGerald Foosand verified his story in person. But because Foos insisted on remaining anonymous, preserving for himself the privacy he denied his guests, Talese filed his reporting away, assuming the story would remain untold.Over the ensuing years, Foos occasionally reached out to Talese to fill him in on the latest developments in his life. He also sent Talese hundreds of pages of notes on his guests and their habits, work that Foos believed made him a pioneering researcher into American society and sexuality. America in microcosm had passed through the Voyeur’s motel, and he witnessed and recorded the harsh effects of the war in Vietnam, the upheaval in gender roles, the decline of segregation, and much more. But Foos continued to insist on anonymity. Now, after thirty-five years, he’s ready to go public and Gay Talese can finally tell his story.The Voyeur’s Motel is an extraordinary work of narrative journalism, at once a portrait of one complicated man, and an examination of secret lives and shifting mores in a culturally-evolving country.

State & Local Editorial Review
The Voyeur's Motel is a non-fiction book by Gay Talese that presents the story of the motel owner, Gerald Foos, who secretly observed his guests through specially designed vents in the attic. The book does not judge or offer opinions on the actions of Foos and his wives but rather presents the facts of what he witnessed over the years in the motel. The book provides compelling insights into the private lives and psychology of people behind closed doors, including sexual activities and other intimate details that many people would find disturbing. Talese's writing style keeps the reader engaged throughout the book, making it a fascinating character study. The story is also very relevant in the current surveillance state, highlighting the implications of privacy violation and voyeurism. Overall, The Voyeur's Motel is an interesting and easy read that captures the readers' attention and offers a unique perspective on human behavior.
