Gay Talese (; born February 7, 1932) is an American author. As a writer for ''The New York Times'' and ''Esquire'' magazine in the 1960s, he helped to define literary journalism. His most famous articles are about Joe DiMaggio and Frank Sinatra.〔(''The New York Times'' )〕〔(''The New York Times'' )〕〔(Vanity Fair )〕〔(''Entertainment Weekly'' )〕〔(''New York Magazine'' )〕 Talese is a visiting writer at the Master of Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California each spring. ==Biography== Gay Talese was born into a Roman Catholic Italian-American family in Ocean City, New Jersey, located just south of Atlantic City. His father, Joseph Talese, was a tailor who had immigrated to the United States in 1922 from Maida, a town in the province of Catanzaro in southern Italy. His mother, the former Catherine DePaolo, was a buyer for a Brooklyn department store (he is sometimes erroneously identified as being from Brooklyn). At school as a child, he wore hand crafted suits from his father's shop which, he later reflected in his memoir ''Origins of a Nonfiction Writer'' (1996), caused him to appear to be older than his classmates. He recounted his early years in his book ''Unto the Sons''. Talese graduated from Ocean City High School in 1949.〔("The ultimate New Jersey high school yearbook: T–Z and also..." ), ''The Star-Ledger'', June 27, 1999.

Gay and Nan Talese's marriage will be the subject of Talese's next book, the third in a series published by Knopf.〔"(The Life and Love(s) of Gay Talese? )" ABCNews.com'', August 10, 2007. Accessed August 10, 2007〕 The first two books, ''Unto the Sons'' and ''A Writer's Life'', were published in 1992 and 2006, respectively. Talese remains active in the Italian American community, including the National Italian American Foundation, which hosted a writer's series in his name. He has been an outspoken advocate for more Italian Americans to pursue careers in writing and editing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gay Talese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
