I was there, in San Diego, for this. I was in the audience and asked the first question. Talese was friendly, outgoing, and thoroughly well-dressed. Audience members kept commenting on his shoes. An American treasure, and a terrific night.

It´s really difficult to be sitting close tu Guy Talese. He looks charming and the other looks like a garbage can.

Somebody should tell Dean Nelson it's rude to point your finger

What I regret the most is not been able to buy his books. If I buy them here, in my country, they'll be in Portuguese. It is such a shame! I don't even wanna read it.

It seems to me that a lot of the older generation talks this way- sort of rambling but in a really nice way. I guess they just grew up in a time where there wasn't any hurry to get the information out. It's not what we're used to but once you get used to it I really like it.
