Talese, by letting so much of the story be told in the Voyeur's own words, by going into such intimate detail of the Voyeur's life, asks the question of us, the readers, Wouldn't we, if we could have gotten away with it, done the same? Talese doesn't judge. While he clearly places himself above the Voyeur culturally and intellectually, his words occasionally seething pretension, he lets the reader decide whether Gerald Foos is a reprehensible creep, or just another person who thinks nobody is watching, only following human nature.The New Yorker article, which I initially thought so fantastic it had to be a fiction, is really sufficient to tell the bulk of the tale. The book follows up, affirming that this really did happen, and that the aftermath was nil. For that purpose, the Netflix documentary does the job, and if you've seen it, and read the original article, there's not much more in the book to make it worth reading. That's not entirely true. There are some stories, told in Foos' sometimes eloquent prose, which are so fantastic as to almost certainly be fantasies. Others are written in a style much more consistent with fabrication than to contemporaneous recollection. By including these stories, without passing judgment on their veracity, Talese lets the reader's own intuition decide to what extent Foos is credible. Again, we the tables are turned, and we become the voyeurs.
I saw the documentary, which made me want to read the book. Why? The lurid life of a man snooping on his motel guests was a curiosity. What I discovered in this book is that Talese and his subject are both obsessed with the concept of voyeurism. Talese admits his life as a journalist is that of a voyeur, which makes sense, and his protagonist here is often given too much credit for being a de facto researcher obsessed with the personal lives of his guests. When the motel owner witnesses a murder in his hotel and doesn't call the police I could no longer give him credit for any of his curiosity. He chose protecting his voyeur palace over a human life. What I found most interesting was the years of being voyeur proved to the motel owner not that people's intimate lives are salacious, rather they are dreary and often unhappy in the extreme. That revelation is what redeems the book.
What a great book! I love Gay Talese's style of writing he's such a wonderful journalist. Just tells the story like it is, doesn't add his emotion into it, really great journalist. Anyway, the story was rather shocking, there were lots of moments where I was shocked and disgusted, and doesn't that make for a great book? I also watched the documentary on Netflix (which was released recently) and it was nice to see the motel owner in "person" - haha. I thought it was hilarious the motel owner considered himself a researcher. Anyway, this book was great. I loved reading all the stories and having a private peek into folks' sex lives... I guess I'm a voyeur too in a way!
This is obviously a minority opinion but I rather liked this book. The "voyeur" is a creepy guy and his attempt to make his observations sound like serious sexual research are unconvincing. His interests are prurient. However, he often makes somewhat astute comments about the people he observes. That doesn't redeem him in any way but it does make for some interesting reading. There are some discrepancies in his story but it rings true on the whole.I also found no reason to be critical of Mr. Talese's conduct. His actions were appropriate for a journalist.
A voyeur who owns a motel contacts the author (Gay Talese) and wants to tell his story. The voyeur (with his wife's permission) spends years recording on legal size paper what he saw through a vent in the ceiling. He also writes his conclusions for each entry. So this book is mostly fact, with photos of the real motel. Of all the stories, lesbian women make love the longest and have a lot of orgasms. Most married couples argue, and don't have sex. The men, in general, are insenstive trolls. When a guy screws his wife, it's mechanical and leaves her frustrated. (Just like real life???)
While I would say the story is unbelievable if true, I found it to be not believable. In any case the telling of the story is clunky. It would have been better if Talese wrote the narrative of Gerald Foos, and then wrote this book as the narrative of writing that book. Talese does a good job in his description of people, places, and events; but there just isn't enough here to justify a book. There was a share of repetition and analysis that helped to stretch the book out far enough to make me desire its final page. Talese claims to strive for factual information, but adds his own opinions and analysis. I would have preferred more factual information. I'll form my own opinion through my own analysis.
A quick read, and one of my favorite reads about human behaviour. Gerald Foos isn’t a psychologist and has no sociology training, yet his observations are still insightful and fascinating.Authenticity is questioned as some dates and stories don’t line up, but the book becomes more of an exploration of Gerald the man and Gerald the Voyeur and all the dichotomy and irony that exists in that single person, rather than the Voyeur’s accounts.On a side note, though: Sometimes it feels like Gay Talese prefers writing about Gay Talese more than he must write about Gerald Foos.
Very interesting. Controversial idea whose results should be taken into account. Valid observations.Recommended reading for all interested in the lives and behavior of common American people.
