Gay Talese, despite his unfortunate first name, is one of my favorite writers.

Read the entire piece:

I would also highly recommend his book about the Bonanno crime family, Honor Thy Father.

He's cultivated a signature look for himself. Like Tom Wolfe, he wouldn't be caught dead in anything but a suit.



He's an old school G, and it's great to see him putting out quality work into his 80's.

Edit:

I'll add this quote from the piece

Quote:

He maintained that most men are natural voyeurs. “But most women prefer being watched to watching others,” he said, “which may partly explain why men spend fortunes on porn and women on cosmetics.”
