OnJanuary 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of his landmark bestsellerThy Neighbor’s Wife,Gay Talesereceived an anonymous letter from a man in Colorado. “Since learning of your long awaited study of coast-to-coast sex inAmerica,” 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 tellTalesean astonishing secret, that he had bought a motel to satisfy his voyeuristic desires. He had built an attic “observation platform,” fitted with vents, through which he could peer down on his unwitting guests.Unsure what to make of this confession,Talesetraveled toColoradowhere he met the man—Gerald Foos—verified his story in person, & read some of his extensive journals, a secret record ofAmerica’schanging social & sexual mores. But becauseFoosinsisted on remaining anonymous,Talesefiled his reporting away, assuming the story would remain untold. Now, after thirty-five years, he’s ready to go public &Talesecan finally tell his story.The Voyeur’s Motelis an extraordinary work ofnarrative journalism, & one of the most talked about books of the year.°°°GAY TALESEwas credited byTom Wolfewith the creation of an inventive form of nonfiction writing called“The New Journalism.”He spent his early career at theNew York Times, then moved toEsquire, where he produced some of the most celebrated magazine pieces ever written, including “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold,” whichVanity Fairhas called “the greatest literary-nonfiction story of the twentieth century.” His books includeThe Kingdom & the Power,Honor Thy Father,Thy Neighbor’s Wife,Unto the Sons, &The Voyeur’s Motel.
