Gay Talese doesn't really write fiction. He may have never written a fiction piece in his life, it would be an odd time in his career to start.

  Were you in the vent above him watching the whole time? Maybe he writes fictional pieces and then quietly flushes them down the toilet. Maybe there's a whole stack of fictional stories sitting on his desk waiting to be printed based on the popularity of this story. If I took one thing from this article, it's that you never know what other people do or don't do. It's the thing you know, but it's jarring when you are reminded of it.

    Maybe he's a two-headed space alien.

    Sure, but we have this nifty thing called Occam's Razor to immediately prune far fetched explanations, like someone secretly being a space lizard from Nibiru.
