Bourdain

When Anthony Bourdain passed away in June 2018, his fans around the world gathered to commemorate the life of an inimitable man who had spent his entire life visiting just about every corner of the globe (and eating just about anything) and, in the process, , bring to light the customs and stories of its inhabitants. His impact was formidable, and his legacy has not stopped growing since his death. Now, and for the first time, we can take a look at Bourdain's life through the anecdotes and memories of his closest friends and colleagues. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime collaborator and confidante (referred to as his "lieutenant" by Bourdain himself), has interviewed nearly a hundred people who shared Tony's orbit -from members of his kitchen team to his associates in writing, publishing, and television assignments, his daughter, and his closest friends- in order to piece together an extraordinarily comprehensive, multifaceted, vivid, and nuanced view of Tony's life and work.
