When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, fans around the globe came together to celebrate the memory of an inimitable man who had dedicated his life to travelling nearly everywhere (and eating nearly everything), shedding light on the stories of others. His impact was outsized and his legacy has only grown since his death. Now, for the first time, we have been granted a look into Bourdain's life through the recollections of those who knew him best. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime assistant and confidante, interviewed nearly a hundred people who shared Tony's orbit - from members of his kitchen crews to his writing, publishing and television partners, to his daughter and his closest friends - in order to piece together a remarkably full, vivid and nuanced vision of Tony's life and work. From his childhood and teenage days, to his early years in New York, through the genesis of his game-changing memoir Kitchen Confidential to his emergence as a writing and television personality, and in the words of friends and colleagues including Eric Ripert, José Andrés, Nigella Lawson and W. Kamau Bell, as well as family members including his brother and his late mother, we see the many sides of Tony - his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots and his brilliance. Unparalleled in scope and deeply intimate in its execution, with a treasure trove of photos from Tony's life, Bourdain: In Stories is a definitive testament to the life of a testament to the life of a remarkable man in the words of the people who shared his world
