Key Notes
Jiang says Gay Talese transformed journalism and research by creating literary journalism, where journalism can itself be literature.
Jiang argues that Talese's mother handled demanding wealthy clients by becoming their friend, which required listening rather than talking.
Jiang states the core formula of the Talese research method as exploration being the pursuit of curiosity and reflection being the pursuit of perfection.
