About this product

Product Information

De Guy Talese, el maestro del periodismo. El libro mas polemico del a, que sera llevado al cine por Sam Mendes y Steven Spielberg. Querido ser Talese: (...) Durante mucho tiempo he querido contar esta historia, pero tengo talento suficiente, y me da miedo que me descubran. A principios de 1980, Gay Talese recibio una carta de un hombre de Colorado que lo hacia participe de un secreto sorprendente: habia comprado un motel para dar rienda suelta a sus deseos de voyeur . En los conductos de ventilacion instalo una plataforma de observacion a traves de la cual espiaba a sus clientes. Talese viajo entonces a Colorado, donde cocio a Gerald Foos y pudo comprobar con sus propios ojos la veracidad de la historia. Ademas, tuvo acceso a sus diarios: un registro secreto de las costumbres sociales y sexuales de su pais. Pero Foos habia sido tambien testigo de un asesinato, y lo habia delatado.Tenia, pues, muchos motivos para permanecer en el animato, y Talese penso que esta historia nunca veria la luz. Hoy, Foos esta listo para hacerla publica y Talese puede darla a cocer. La critica ha opinado: Un magnifico reportaje de suspense donde ambos, el voyeur y el periodista, parecen rondar el delito. --Elvira Lindo, El Pais- U puede admirar este libro y al mismo tiempo desear arrancarse los ojos. --The New York Times, El caso de El motel del voyeur - Es, a pesar o debido a su ambiguedad, la obra maestra de Talese. --Yves Harte, Sud Ouest- Instructivo e intrigante. Iluminador y entretenido. --The Washington Post- Una peculiar historia demasiado buena como para ser contada. - -Los Angeles Times- Un relato espeluznante y perturbador pero tambien una sordida y absorbente muestra de la vida estadounidense. --Kirkus Reviews- Una investigacion reveladora. La ropa sucia tiene aqui manchas muy interesantes. -Publishers Weekly- Caera rendido ante este electrizante page turner que plantea todo tipo de fascinantes cuestiones periodisticas, morales y legales. --Barnes & Noble- Una obra extrana que evoca a Michael Powell (El fotografo del panico ) o Alfred Hitchcock (Psicosis). -Le Figaro Magazine-ENGLISH DESCRIPTON On January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of his landmark bestseller Thy Neighbor's Wife, Gay Talese received an anymous 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 an 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, Talese traveled to Colorado where he met the man--Gerald Foos--verified his story in person, and read some of his extensive journals, a secret record of America's changing social and sexual mores. But because Foos insisted on remaining anymous, Talese filed his reporting away, assuming the story would remain untold. Now, after thirty-five years, he's ready to go public and Talese can finally tell his story. The Voyeur's Motel is an extraordinary work of narrative journalism, and one of the most talked about books of the year.
