It might not be the Bourdain book you were expecting but if you’re travel-starved from staying home during the pandemic, this might be a great summer read for you.Īnthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. With an hour of audio recorded during that conversation along with Woolever’s own notes, the book came to life, peppered with stories from friends, colleagues, family and those he met along the way in his travels. Bourdain had the idea of a world travel guide and after his death, Woolever decided to make this idea a reality. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide, published last month, is actually authored by longtime assistant Laurie Woolever and was something they discussed during a short conversation they had just months before his death. It’s been 3 years since Anthony Bourdain passed away so you might be wondering how he’s authored a book. This is part of my Summer Reads series where I’ll be reviewing a series of “not just cookbooks”.
