      2. So it looks like Gay Talese's new book The Voyeur's Motel has serious problems because his main source is very unreliable.

      3. Here's a Washington Post write-up of the problems with Talese's book, which he's now seemingly disavowing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/author-gay-talese-disavows-his-latest-book-amid-credibility-questions/2016/06/30/1fede2b8-3e22-11e6-84e8-1580c7db5275_story.html …

      4. Stepping back, key to understanding what's happening is that Talese is pioneer of the New Journalism.

      5. The New Journalism aimed to import the techniques of fiction into journalism. In practice this meant it often became a branch of fiction.

      6. Talese is not the first work of the New Journalism to become entangled in questions of accuracy. Problem is endemic in genre.

      7. Aside from Talese, Capote's In Cold Blood being a prime example of fictionalizing New Journalism. Also others.pic.twitter.com/aFuJ9PG50j

      8. Best way to understand New Journalism is that it was always branch of fiction & a revolt against constraints of bourgeois literary novel

      9. Briefly, post-WWII saw triumph of CIA-sponsored Iowa-taught literary fiction: novels about suburban adultery, etc.

      10. Defining fact of post-war bourgeois literature was what it exclude: class, politics, grit of world outside of suburbs.

      11. When the 1960s exploded, mainstream American literature was without resources to describe unfolding reality (as Philip Roth sense early)

      12. "New Journalism" emerged from writers who wanted to describe breakdown of American society & knew traditional novel didn't have model.

          And the peak was HST's Gonzo subgenre of New Journalism, imho.

          I like where this is going. Waiting to hear about Mailer, whose 64 convention writing comes up at least weekly lately.

          13. One side of New Journalism was novelists who realized they needed to integrate social reality into work: Capote, Mailer, Didion

          14. There's a flipside to story I'm telling: journalists turning to fiction to get at truths beyond codified rules of objectivity.

          it is also aggressively masculine, while the novel is not. Was a way to be literary bit not feminized

          New Jnlism was a narrower take though, than, say Dickens. Narrowed by conventions of fashion, limits of ability. ICB an exception

          Greatest modern nonfiction outside NJ: Naipaul, Kapuczinski, Herr. More complex and committed relation to the truth than Wolfe, GT
