Gay Talese renounces his lurid new book about a motel voyeur: ‘Its credibility is down the toilet’


Talese does note in The Voyeur’s Motel that he found some discrepancies in Foos’ accounts. “How dare I promote it when its credibility is down the toilet?”The source of my book, Gerald Foos, is certifiably unreliable. But Talese overlooked a key fact in his book: Foos sold the motel, located in Aurora, Colorado, in 1980 and didn’t reacquire it until eight years later, according to local property records. “I have no doubt that Mr. Foos may have been involved in some nefarious activity while he owned the Manor House. In his forthcoming book, The Voyeur’s Motel, acclaimed journalist and nonfiction author Gay Talese chronicles the bizarre story of Gerald Foos, who allegedly spied on guests at his Colorado motel from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s.
