Ühel päeval võtab ajakirjanikuga ühendust mees, kes on pikka aega pidanud motelli. Nagu selgub, on tema hobiks olnud läbi lakke puuritud augu piiluda, mida teevad inimesed motellitubades. Kõige selle kohta on ta pidanud detailselt päevikut. See on üllatav, häiriv ja köitev lugemine. Gay Talese (snd 1932) on üks tuntumaid USA ajakirjanikke, nn pikkade lugude meister, kes on aastakümneid avaldanud olemuslugusid New York Timesis, New Yorkeris, Esquire’is jt tuntud väljaannetes.

448 lk Neil erinevatel koomilistel, sooja pilguga inimese sisse vaatavatel lugudel on üks ühine nimetaja: kirjutusmasin. Mõnes neist on sellel väiksem roll, mõnes suurem. Kirjutusmasin esindab paljudele teatavat käsitööoskust, ilu ja isikupära, mida on moodsas maailmas aina raskem ja raskem leida. Ometi on Tom Hanks neis lugudes selleni küündinud, just samasugusel tagasihoidlikult tundlikul moel, nagu oma filmirollides.
