About the Book

De Guy Talese, el maestro del periodismo. El libro más polémico del año, que será llevado al cine por Sam Mendes y Steven Spielberg."Querido señor Talese: (...) Durante mucho tiempo he querido contar esta historia, pero no tengo talento suficiente, y me da miedo que me descubran."A principios de 1980, Gay Talese recibió una carta de un hombre de Colorado que lo hacía partícipe de un secreto sorprendente: había comprado un motel para dar rienda suelta a sus deseos de voyeur . En los conductos de ventilación instaló una "plataforma de observación" a través de la cual espiaba a sus clientes. Talese viajó entonces a Colorado, donde conoció a Gerald Foos y pudo comprobar con sus propios ojos la veracidad de la historia. Además, tuvo acceso a sus diarios: un registro secreto de las costumbres sociales y sexuales de su país. Pero Foos había sido también testigo de un asesinato, y no lo había delatado.Tenía, pues, muchos motivos para permanecer en el anonimato, y Talese pensó que esta historia nunca vería la luz. Hoy, Foos está listo para hacerla pública y Talese puede darla a conocer.La crítica ha opinado:
"Un magnífico reportaje de suspense donde ambos, el voyeur y el periodista, parecen rondar el delito." --Elvira Lindo, El País-"Uno 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 ambigüedad, la obra maestra de Talese." --Yves Harté, Sud Ouest-"Instructivo e intrigante. Iluminador y entretenido." --The Washington Post-"Una peculiar historia demasiado buena como para no ser contada." - -Los Angeles Times-"Un relato espeluznante y perturbador pero también una sórdida y absorbente muestra de la vida estadounidense." --Kirkus Reviews-"Una investigación reveladora. La ropa sucia tiene aquí manchas muy interesantes." -Publishers Weekly-"Caerá rendido ante este electrizante page turner que plantea todo tipo de fascinantes cuestiones periodísticas, morales y legales." --Barnes & Noble-"Una obra extraña que evoca a Michael Powell (El fotógrafo del pánico ) o Alfred Hitchcock (Psicosis)." -Le Figaro Magazine- ENGLISH DESCRIPTONOn January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of his landmark bestseller 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 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 anonymous, 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.
