Bourdain In Stories

Bourdain: In Stories edited by Laurie Woolever is a moving portrait of Anthony Bourdain assembled from the recollections of those who knew him best — chefs, writers, producers, friends, and collaborators from every stage of his extraordinary life. Rather than a conventional biography, this is an oral history: dozens of voices weaving together their memories of a man who was by turns brilliant, difficult, generous, self-destructive, and utterly irreplaceable. The result is a fuller, more human portrait than any single author could provide — a book that captures Bourdain’s contradictions without diminishing his greatness. Published by Bloomsbury, Bourdain: In Stories is essential reading for fans of Kitchen Confidential and Parts Unknown, and for anyone who has been moved by the question of how a life that burns so brightly can also consume itself.
