Review This is the stuff of real writing … Bourdain is a great original * Mail on Sunday *One of the worlds 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 rocknroll, 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 * Promotional A celebration of the life and legacy of one of the most important food writers of all time – the inimitable Anthony Bourdain Review Quote Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful voice ...
