Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable. 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. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania’s utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter-and many places beyond. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide ought to be a worthy supplement to re-re-rewatching old episodes of Parts Unknown, as it's one more collection of wisdom from the man who wandered more of this earth than we can ever hope to and who said profound shit like, "Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.A guide to some of the world’s most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony BourdainĪnthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. So, your standard travel guide, only supported by the witticisms, crippling sarcasm, and as the title teases, irreverent attitude that made Bourdain a much more engaging TV host and world traveler than the rest.
As for the places, the book's description teases portion on Paris, Buenos Aires, Oman, Tanzania, and New York City (just like that last legendary episode of Parts Unknown in the Lower East Side ) with advice on what to do and where to eat. Each chapter will start with a sketch from cartoonist Tony Millionaire, like the one you can see on the cover of Bourdain hanging at Café de la Mairie in Paris.
(It's available for pre-order now.) In a release Woolever said, "I was lucky to work closely with Tony for nearly a decade, and I’m so pleased to be able to share his reflections and insights about the world, as he saw it, in this guide."Īnd because Bourdain depended upon his friends to show him around their corners of the world-Iggy Pop in Miami, José Andrés in Spain, Alison Moshart in Nashville-this book will continue the tradition, with Woolever's contributions supplemented with essays written by people who knew him better than us, like his brother Chris.
People reports that Bourdain began this travel book, called World Travel: An Irreverent Guide, before he died by suicide in 2018, with Woolever finishing it up so that it was ready for its October 13, 2020, release.
