FRANK SINATRA HAS A COLD AND OTHER ESSAYS - Gay Talese




Gay Talese or Tom Wolfe- Tom Wolfe or Gay Talese. I find it very hard to seperate these two as the greatest 'documentary' writers that I have read.

This is a collection of articles written over many years by the author. All the stories are relevant and have not aged.

My favourite is Ali in Cuba just because I'm a fan of the boxer, but you can dip into any of these writings and be amazed. Wonderful writing.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
