The Voyeur's Motel

Also, if the subtext is practically lit up in neon letters, it's probably not subtle enough:

You see, not only is Talese a voyeur by reading these journals, aren't we, the readers, voyeurs by reading about him reading the journals? And hasn't Talese made the reader his accomplice throughout his career? And aren't all readers really voyeurs...? etc etc.

Still, putting aside the snark, I thought it was a good article.

 

Finally read it this afternoon.

Every single line read to me like a great work...of fiction.

I nearly threw the magazine across the room when his tie slipped through the vent. Good thing the male half of the 69 below "had his eyes closed."

Mine were open, but rolling.

Shocker...

Author Gay Talese disavows his latest book amid credibility questions

 

Beat me to it.

 

Next thing you know, Sinatra didn't have a cold either.

 

Plot twist!

 

Or maybe Sinatra had the flu!

 

Now a Netflix documentary:

This bit made me laugh out loud: "He was looking down on Room 6, where he saw a guest eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while sitting on the bed. Instead of using paper napkins, the man cleaned his hands on the bedsheets. He then wiped the grease off his beard and mouth with the bedspread. Without realizing what he was doing, Foos shouted, “You son of a bitch!”"

 

Watched the documentary, found it interesting and repulsive at same time.
