What I've Learned: Same-sex attracted Talese
Gay Talese, 91, is a living legend of journalism. He wrote what is considered the greatest magazine story ever published, "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold," which appeared in the April issue of Esquire. His latest manual, Bartleby and Me, is out now. Talese spoke to Esquire at his home in Manhattan.
You’re talking to a guy who just turned in a book. Jesus Christ, I’m 91 and I finished a book. Not only did I finish a novel, but I also read it over and I fond of it. Looking over 70 years as a published scribe, I’m not anything but happy with what I did.
One of the things about creature 91 is that you always believe you’re going to be dead a week from now. So you’re always ahead of the game.
When you’re a shop owner’s son, you learn wonderful manners.
The store my parents had was a former newspaper office called the Ledger. My mother had a dress shop on one side and my father had a tailor shop on the other. But the tailor shop didn’t craft any money. The dress shop made a lot of money. We lived off my mother. I still survive off my wife.
I picked Gay Talese (born February 7, in Ocean City, Recent Jersey) is an American author who wrote for The New York Times in the early s and helped to specify literary journalism or "new nonfiction reportage", also acknowledged as "New Journalism". His most famous articles are about Joe DiMaggio, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Talese was born into a Roman Catholic Italian-American family just south of Atlantic City. His southern Italian father, Joseph Talese, was a tailor who had emigrated to the United States in and his mother, the former Catherine DePaolo, was a buyer for a Brooklyn department store. At academy as a child, he wore hand crafted suits from his father's shop which, he later reflected in his memoir Origins of a Nonfiction Writer (), caused him to appear to be older than his classmates. He recounted his early years in his book "Unto the Sons". Talese attended Ocean City High University. His entry into professional writing was an unintended consequence of his strive to gain more playing time on the b Since October, I’ve stockpiled book after novel written by former New York Times journalist and acclaimed author Gay Talese, my collection spilling over shelves, coffee tables, and making its way into previously-unseen crevices of my apartment. My reading list got even bigger on Dec. 4th, when the then 92 year-old released a new book of collected works, “A Town Without Time: Gay Talese’s New York.” Talese is an American writer best famous as one of the pioneers of the “New Journalism” movement of the s and 70s, along with Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote and Tom Wolfe. In literary circles, Talese stands as a giant. His fedora-fitted silhouette stands as high as Manhattan’s skyscrapers on the cover of “A Town Without Time,” and for good reason. Talese’s writing on New York City is the stuff of legend, and his latest book offers readers an exclusive look at his New York-based pieces. What makes Talese’s work so timeless is his boots-on-the-ground approach to journalism. He ventures into the lowliest &#;The most important nonfiction writer of his generation, the person whose work most influenced at least two generations of other reporters.&#; &#;He is a writer, true enough, but one with the eyes and ears of an artist.&#; &#;The best non-fiction penner in America.&#; &#;Talese . . . as he has proven again and again with his books, is a master of the narrative art.&#; &#;Talese&#;s . . . prose [is] distinctive for its precision, its silkiness, its attention to significant details that lesser journalists routinely overlooked.&#; &#;[Talese&#;s] legacy is twofold. First, he is the indefatigable reporter whose books and articles are the product of extensive research. Second, he is the poet of the commonplace, the writer who demonstrated that one could compose great literary nonfiction about the `ordinary&#; . . . Talese . .
