The provocative classic work newly updated An intimate personal odyssey across America's changing sexual landscape When first published, Gay Talese's 1981 groundbreaking work, Thy Neighbor's Wife , shocked a nation with its powerful, eye-opening revelations about the sexual activities and proclivities of the American public in the era before AIDS. A marvel of journalistic courage and craft, the book opened a window into a new world built on a new moral foundation, carrying the reader on a remarkable journey from the Playboy Mansion to the Supreme Court, to the backyards and bedrooms of suburbia—through the development of the porn industry, the rise of the "swinger" culture, the legal fight to define obscenity, and the daily sex lives of "ordinary" people. It is the book that forever changed the way Americans look at themselves and one another.
A former reporter for the New York Times, Gay Talese is a bestselling author who has written eleven books. He lives in New York City.
阅读盖伊·特立斯的非虚构作品,总是像加入了一场文字的盛宴。 《邻人之妻》是一个非常诱人的名字,让人联想到《邻家女孩》,却更加一层香艳的意味。然而在这样一个香艳名字的后面,其实是作者盖伊·特立斯通过对上个世纪五六十年代发生在美国的那场性解放运动深入其中的观察与...
评分上个世纪美国社会对于性文化的启蒙,压制与变迁的纪实文学(虽然有些章节实在有点啰嗦)。我认同的观念包括婚姻和一夫一妻制是社会产物而非人类天性使然和性不可耻,但每次只要提及这些便有人立马认为你就是个荡妇+你就是想着要出轨。我的白眼翻上天际。

评分From the first tentative settlements in the New World, a tension has existed between the pursuit of individual liberty and the quest for puritan righteousness … My generation, inspired by the Dionysian titanism of rock, attempted something more radical than anything else since the French Revolution. … why shouldn’t I act on every sexual impulse?
评分本以为这种涉及性方面内容的书会删节所以找了英文版看,看完觉得可能删节的可能是其他内容。一方面很感慨很多权力并不是天上掉下来的,另一方面更感慨至少也需要一个体系去保证人们有这样的机会和场所去争取。还有一个感慨的地方就是人性就是人性,不管自认为怎么超脱还是有很多东西不太容易克服,比如占有欲。
评分No one has ever lived so long, experienced so much, researched the revolution of sex in America so thoroughly as Gay Talese.
