On January 7, 1980, In The Runup To The Publication Of His Landmark Bestseller Thy Neighbors Wife, Gay Talese Received An Anonymous Handwritten Letter From A Man In Colorado. Since Learning Of Your Longawaited Study Of Coasttocoast 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 Voyeurs 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 Thirtyfive Years, Hes Ready To Go Public And Gay Talese Can Finally Tell His Story.The Voyeurs 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 Culturallyevolving Country.
