Description
Mike Ortego artfully performs Gay Talese’s polished sentences and captures the flavor of his urbane worldview with a writerly tone. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss Talese’s audiobook focused on three of his works. He returns listeners to the sights and sounds of his most famous piece of creative nonfiction, “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold,” entertaining listeners with the backstory. There is a fine new piece on the bizarre death of Dr. Nicholas Bartha, and an insightful profile of the famous NEW YORK TIMES obituary writer, Aldon Whitman. Indeed, there is much about the TIMES in the 1960s, where the now 91-year old Talese got his start.
