Gay Talese and the art of “New Journalism”

He’s considered a leader of a movement known as “New Journalism” – writers who tried to break the boundaries of traditional reporting in the mid- to late-20th century. Now 85, and working on a new book about his long marriage, Gay Talese talks to Rita Braver about some of his most memorable stories, and about a new anthology of his most acclaimed articles, called “High Notes.” Source
