A moving and insightful collection of quotes, memories, and images
celebrating the life of Anthony Bourdain A NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, the outpouring
of love from his fans around the world was momentous. The tributes
spoke to his legacy: That the world is much smaller than we imagine
and people are more alike than they are different. As Bourdain once
said, "If I'm an advocate of anything, it's to move...Walk in
someone else's shoes or at least eat their food." Anthony Bourdain
Remembered brings together memories and anecdotes from fans
reminiscing about Bourdain's unique achievements and his enduring
effect on their lives as well as comments from chefs, journalists,
filmmakers, musicians, and writers inspired by Bourdain including
Barack Obama, Eric Ripert, Jill Filipovic, Ken Burns, Questlove,
and Jose Andres, among many others. These remembrances give us a
glimpse of Bourdain's widespread impact through his political and
social commitments; his dedication to travel and eating well (and
widely); and his love of the written word, along with his deep
compassion, open-mindedness, and interest in lives different from
his own. Anthony Bourdain Remembered captures Bourdain's inimitable
spirit and passion in the words of his devoted fans as well as some
of his closest friends and colleagues.
