A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
‘Powerful and profound’ Esquire

When Anthony Bourdain died in 2018, fans from all over the world reached out to celebrate the life of a unique man. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime assistant and friend, has interviewed nearly a hundred people who shared his life in order to compile a much fuller and vibrant picture of Tony and his work.
From his childhood and teenage years, to his early days in New York, through the genesis of his groundbreaking memoir Kitchen Confidential and his recognition in the public eye, and through the words of friends and colleagues such as Eric Ripert, José Andrés, and Nigella Lawson, as well as his family, we see the many sides of Tony—his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots, and his genius.
Deeply intimate, with a treasure trove of photos, the Bourdain: In Stories is a testament to the life of an extraordinary man through the words of those who shared his world.
