Gay Talese Renounces His New Book The Voyeur’s Motel

Gay Talese is vacating The Voyeur’s Motel. In response to an investigation by the Washington Post, the pioneering author and journalist has admitted to having serious reservations about the veracity of his upcoming nonfiction book, which profiles a Colorado innkeeper who allegedly spied on his guests’ private moments for several decades. Although the book’s subject, Gerald Foos, claimed to have carried out his peeping at the Manor House in suburban Denver from the late 1960s through the mid-’90s, the Post discovered property records indicating Foos didn’t actually own the motel for the majority of the ’80s, having sold and later reacquired it. “I should not have believed a word he said,” Talese, 84, told the Post.
