Author Gay Talese won't promote 'The Voyeur's Motel' amid credibility questions

In a dramatic statement that's likely to send shock waves rippling from the publishing world to Hollywood, noted author Gay Talese has disavowed his upcoming nonfiction book, "The Voyeur's Motel." Talese says he will not promote the book after questions were raised about the credibility of its main source, Gerald Foos, the subject of the book who allegedly spied on guests at his Colorado motel from the 1960s to the 1990s. Property records show that Foos sold the motel in 1980 and reacquired it in 1988. That gap raised doubt about what Foos told Talese.

How dare I promote it when its credibility is down the toilet?
