Biography; Autobiography: arts & entertainment; TV & celebrity chef cookbooks

"The brilliant intellect and candor of Anthony Bourdain is on full display in this collection of interviews from throughout his remarkable career, including interviews with Neil Degrasse Tyson and Trevor Noah

Anthony Bourdain always downplayed his skills as a chef (many disagreed). But despite his modesty, one thing even he agreed with was that he was a born raconteur-as he makes clear in this collection of sparkling conversations. His wit, passion, and deep intelligence shine through all manner of discussion here, from heart-to-hearts with bloggers, to on-stage talks before massive crowds, to intense interviews with major television programs. Without fail, Bourdain is always blisteringly honest-such as when he talks about his battles with addiction, or when detailing his thoughts on restaurant critics. He regularly dispenses arresting insight about how what's on your plate reveals much of history and politics. And perhaps best of all, the heartfelt empathy he developed travelling the world for his TV shows is always in the fore, as these talks make the ""Hemingway of gastronomy,"" as chef Marco Pierre White called him, live again."

Reviews for Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations

PRAISE FOR ANTHONY BOURDAIN: He taught us about food -- but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. -- Barack Obama I loved his joie de vivre. I loved that he loved to go to a foreign place and eat whatever they were eating, and that he would go into people's kitchens and see what mom was making at home or what grandma or dad was cooking at home. He was very curious. I really admired his enthusiasm. -- Ina Garten I watched his show when I was in space. It made me feel more connected to the planet, its people and cultures and made my time there more palatable. He inspired me to see the world up close. -- Scott Kelly, NASA astronaut
