Specificatii
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 man--Gerald Foos--and 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.
