Description

'Terrific … His love for his subjects – both the food and the cook – sings' Telegraph'Christ, could Bourdain weave words ... the guy wrote like a poet' GuardianA celebration of the life and legacy of one of the most important food writers of all time – the inimitable Anthony BourdainAnthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter – and many places beyond.In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places – in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.Supplementing Bourdain’s words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more.

Critic Reviews

“This is the stuff of real writing ... Bourdain is a great original”

This is the stuff of real writing … Bourdain is a great original Mail on Sunday
One of the world’s first and most influential celebrity chefs Guardian
Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful voice … He would eat anything, go anywhere and say anything New York Times
Bourdain is a very funny writer; sharp, honest and with a beguiling mix of belligerence and sensitivity Sunday Telegraph
Brilliantly written in a raw, stylist gonzo prose, with pitch-black humour and a devilish turn of phrase Evening Standard
Christ, could Bourdain weave words … Imagery like crime-scene photos, the flayed raw humour of a morgue attendant, the sort of one-liners a hitman drips as he pulls the trigger, and similes that would make Raymond Chandler eat his own pencils. For all the rock’n’roll, the easy, sleazy charm, the guy wrote like a poet Guardian
Terrific … His love for his subjects – both the food and the cook – sings Daily Telegraph
Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful … He would eat anything, go anywhere and say anything New York Times
Bourdain is a vivid, bawdy and often foul-mouthed writer. He thrills in the attack, but he is also an enthusiast who writes well about things he holds dear Wall Street Journal
Fun and frank ... The perfect book for veteran travellers, armchair enthusiasts and those in-between Western Australian
