The Voyeur`s Motel
On January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of Thy Neighbor`s Wife, Gay Talese received an anonymous 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 a remarkable, shocking secret, so compelling that Talese travelled to Colorado to verify it in person. But because the letter-writer insisted on remaining anonymous, Talese filed his reporting away, certain the story would remain untold. Over the next thirty-five years, the man occasionally reached out to Talese to fill him in on the latest developments in his life, but he continued to insist on anonymity. Finally, after thirty-five years, he`s ready to go public. In the tradition of Thy Neighbor`s Wife, Talese`s landmark, best-selling exploration of the sexual revolution in America, this will be a provocative, eye-opening and much-talked-about book.
