The man who wrote the firsthand bible of the sexual revolution of the '60s and '70s is, lucky for you, also a Mad Men fan. In an interview with Vulture, Gay Talese discusses Roger Sterling's season premiere reveries, saying he recognizes the ad men's lifestyle in his own experiences at the New York Times and the commercialized sex scene in New York during that time. "Today, sex and the culture surrounding it doesn’t have the pop that it did in the '60s. Back then, it was novel and wonderfully adventuresome," Talese says.
