From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Gay Talese (born February 7, 1932) is an American author. He wrote for the New York Times in the early 1960s, and experimented with literary journalism or "new nonfiction reportage", also known as New Journalism.
Talese is currently on faculty at the Master of Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California.
His Esquire magazine article "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" is considered one of the most influential magazine articles of all time, in that it focused not just on Sinatra but on Talese's pursuit of his subject.
