Gay Talese (/təˈliːz/; born February 7, 1932) is an American writer. As a

journalist for The New York Times and Esquire magazine during the 1960s, Talese helped to

define literary journalism.

Talese's most famous articles are about Joe DiMaggio and Frank Sinatra. Talese's first piece for the magazine Esquire –

a series of scenes in the city – appeared in a special New York issue during

July 1960. When the Times newspaper unions had a work stoppage

during December 1962, Talese had plenty of time to watch rehearsals for a

production by Broadway director Joshua Logan for an Esquire profile. As Carol Polsgrove

indicates in her history of Esquire during the 1960s, it was

the kind of reporting he liked to do best: "just being there, observing,

waiting for the climactic moment when the mask would drop and true character

would reveal itself." In 1964, Talese published The

Bridge: The Building of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (1964), a reporter-style, non-fiction depiction of the

construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City. In 1965, he left The New York Times to

write full-time for editor Harold Hayes at Esquire.

His 1966 Esquire article on Frank Sinatra, "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold", is one of the most influential American magazine

articles of all time, and a pioneering example of New Journalism and creative nonfiction. With what some have called a brilliant structure and

pacing, the article focused not just on Sinatra himself, but also on Talese's

pursuit of his subject.[ Talese's DiMaggio, "The Silent

Season of a Hero" – in part a meditation on the transient nature of fame –

was also published during 1966. When a number of Esquire essays

were collected into a book called Fame and Obscurity, Talese paid tribute in its introduction to two writers he

admired by citing "an aspiration on my part to somehow bring to reportage

the tone that Irwin Shaw and John

O'Hara had brought to the short

story." Honor Thy Father (1971) was made into a feature

movie. During 2008, The Library of America selected Talese's 1970 account of the Charles

Manson murders, "Charlie Manson's Home on

the Range", for inclusion in its two-century retrospective of American

True Crime. In 2011, Talese won the Norman Mailer Prize for Distinguished Journalism.
