The Anthony Bourdain reader : new, classic, and rediscovered writing Cover Image Book

The Anthony Bourdain reader : new, classic, and rediscovered writing / edited by Kimberly Witherspoon ; foreword by Patrick Radden Keefe.

Bourdain, Anthony, (author.). Witherspoon, Kimberly, (editor.). Keefe, Patrick Radden, 1976- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:

Anthony Bourdain represented many things to many people--and he had many sides. But no part of his identity was more important to him, and more long-lasting, than that of a writer. The Anthony Bourdain Reader is a collection of his best and most fascinating writing, and touches on his many pursuits and passions, from restaurant life to family life to the "low life," from TV to travel through places like Vietnam, Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai. The Anthony Bourdain Reader is also a showcase for new and never-before-seen material, like diary entries from Bourdain's first trip to France as a teenager and "It's Cruel and Unforgiving Terrain," a piece on the New York restaurant scene, as well as unpublished short fiction like "I Quit My Job Yesterday" and chapters from No New Messages, his unfinished novel. These newly discovered pieces all contribute to give the fullest picture of the man behind the books.
