An extraordinary work of narrative journalism, The Voyeur’s Motel tells the unsettling true story of Gerald Foos, a Colorado motel owner who secretly observed his guests for decades. First revealed to author Gay Talese through an anonymous letter in 1980, Foos’s account unfolded into hundreds of pages of detailed notes documenting America in microcosm: the Vietnam War, shifting gender roles, changing racial attitudes, and evolving ideas about intimacy. Both disturbing and compelling, this book examines the psychology of one man’s obsession while also providing a rare, voyeuristic portrait of American society in the latter half of the twentieth century.
