将自己视为人类观察家,甚至与斯诺登相提并论,担得起“whistle-blower”美名的偷窥狂。见证美国性开放、媒介变革并批判如今government监控民众现象的自恋狂。满足欲望的过程中开拓了新的性视野,对人性产生怀疑。姑且不论是否变态,其收藏运动员卡片的爱好和五十年两段婚姻中只出过一次轨的坚定让人称奇。Gay Talese还是很会写,尤其结尾:偷窥者面对只剩一片废墟的自己的试验室,坦然告别,“I’ve seen enough.”11-26

之前在pocket里读到了转述这个故事的长文,非常精彩。#############为了重新捡起长文阅读,从这本开始看了。Foos的观察(偷窥)记录还是很有意思的,虽然违法,不过是很真实的人性记录,且反映了时代变化。某些案例很有趣,关于男女婚姻生活,关于女同,越战受伤军人,贫穷工薪阶层,swap couples, incest, drug dealings, even a murder,对人性的质疑,以及对无处不在的government voyeurism的反思。不过有时候性描写过于详细以至于看多了有点乏味。08-28
A weird but provocative account, though I would consider it normal if it had happened in Japan. Somehow I thought of my first studio assignment, the design of a bathroom, which later expanded to a drive-in theater, nailed the distinction of public/private to my brain. I would add a programatic space just like the sandstone retreat for a makeover. 11-28
