@MikeRosenwald: Talese calls his reporting style “the art of hanging out.” He takes notes in a rather unconventional way, on small pieces of shirtboard recycled from his dry cleaned shirts. At night, he goes back to his hotel room and types up the notes on a typewriter. The notes read like mini-scenes, and in them readers can see Talese working out the direction of a story. This note is from the first day of a week long trip Talese took with the struggling Yankees for The New York Times in 1979. (from The Silent Season of a Hero: The Sports Writing of Gay Talese edited by Mike Rosenwald.)
