Gay Talese cats tales of New York as if they were "rain dogs" the subject of yet and it might seem, bizarre storyteller, instead is a writer capable of giving a specific meaning to his role and his writing, fiction or non fiction that is because, as he says in the conclusion of Frank Sinatra has a cold , "I have always believed, and I hope to demonstrate with my efforts, that we should pay attention to ordinary people even in the literature is not fiction, and that, without changing names and falsifying the facts, the writers should produce what they call the literature of reality. " The attention to detail, whether it's the small detail that makes each story credible, whether it's final decisions in setting the writing becomes his way of life that journalism is the starting point and final destination. The foundation, which would be useful to think sometimes, those are uncommon attention to the subjects, the meetings and portraits that Gay Talese explains: " I have never written to anyone that does not nourish a minimum respect and this respect is evident in the effort to express in writing and in the effort to try to understand and express the views of the subjects of history and the social and historical helped shape their character, or their lack of character. " To describe a non-event, the one with Frank Sinatra, who did not rivorgergli took the word as an epic, and not invent anything, it takes all the "art of practice", the ability to read through and through New York, "a city of things that go unnoticed and a vision that is "inspired by curiosity, is supported by the essence of people and places I've left behind, people are neglected, that is not news." His narrative of the minimum daily with the highest art of writing puts in symbiosis journalism and fiction in a way quite unique, even if Gay Talese does not hide the details secret, indeed he confesses quite genuine: "I came from a small town, and my perceptions were somewhat provincial. I felt a sense of wonder at all that the others were normal. I thought it was worth writing about the usual events that were part of the daily routine of an average person. " The dedication to the common man , even when calling from Frank Sinatra or Joe DiMaggio, is its primordial element and the drive, inspiration, "the only essential quality is curiosity, and strength to escape and explore the world and the people who lead extraordinary lives or who are in the dark. " Something that serves as a vocation that Gay Talese pantry with enthusiasm because "there are stories everywhere, in front of us, within our reach." Just free them from reality: the beautiful, and difficult, must be just that.
