I've been reading Gay Talese since the beginning of time. Late sixties when I got my first subscription to the New Yorker. I love the little dig at Iowa. I've been harping on the whole MFA writing process as the end of literature for years. Talese is a Salon goer and writer. I've always felt I was tagging along on an extraordinary experience.
Phenomenal.
Nazaryan pours liquid gold over a glorious subject. He 'sees' into the mind and heart, worthily. Gay Talese is no doubt quietly happy.
This is great piece, with a beautiful hint of melancholia. Thank you and well done.
Beautiful. Made my day.
What a great piece of writing about a great writer. Well done, sir.

Gracious, elegant, and precise. Bravo.
