In un lungo e discusso articolo su The New Yorker Gay Talese racconta la storia di Gerald Foos, un uomo che per trent’anni ha spiato gli ospiti del suo motel, finendo per essere coinvolto in faccende che andavano ben al di là del sesso.

I know a married man and father of two who bought a twenty-one-room motel near Denver many years ago in order to become its resident voyeur. With the assistance of his wife, he cut rectangular holes measuring six by fourteen inches in the ceilings of more than a dozen rooms. Then he covered the openings with louvred aluminum screens that looked like ventilation grilles but were actually observation vents that allowed him, while he knelt in the attic, to see his guests in the rooms below. He watched them for decades, while keeping an exhaustive written record of what he saw and heard. Never once, during all those years, was he caught.
