Scary Thought Courtesy of Gay Talese

"Donald Trump is America." 

Gay Talese
on
MSNBC

Pretty amazing interview with Gay Tales on MSNBC. Hopefully this will be findable on The You Tub in the near future so you can hear and / or read his comments in their entirety.

UPDATE:
Oh, 21st century, how I do love thee. (And I've totally forgiven you about the lack of flying cars.) On the official MSNBC You Tube Channel, and with an embed code, so I can save you a click or two:



I hate to admit that I know nothing about Mr. Talese. I remember that Pete Townshend mentioned his name on a song on "Communication" (on 1982's All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes . . . which gets my vote for one of the greatest album titles of all time). That's about it. But hearing him speak here, and hearing about what he has done in the past, sure makes me want to get acquainted with his writing. I might have to start with Thy Neighbor's Wife. It's got a really hot cover. (Hey, you've got to start somewhere, right?)
