Roughly two years after popular chef, travel writer and TV host Anthony Bourdain killed himself in June 2018, his last book will be released in October this year. Titled 'World Travel: An Irreverent Guide', the book is a guide to some of the fascinating places in the world as experienced by Bourdain. The book is co-authored by his assistant Laurie Woolever, who finished the book after Bourdain's untimely death.
Apart from having Bourdain's tips to travel to these places, the book also has essays written by his family and friends.
It includes 'sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more,' reads the book's blurb.
Sharing her emotional experience of working on the book, Woolever had told CNN in 2018, “It’s been a wrenching, lurching struggle to get back to that manuscript, as I grieve the enormous loss of his kind, profane, surprising and brilliant existence."
Woolever worked with Bourdain for roughly a decade and also co-authored the cookbook 'Appetites' which released in 2016. Talking about working on his upcoming travel book, she told GPB News, "The vision behind our travel book is sort of a look at the world through Tony's eyes... You know, he's seen so much of the world, so let's highlight some of the best things that he's seen in his almost 20 years of televised travel."
Some of Bourdain's other books are 'Bone in the Throat', 'Gone Bamboo', 'A Cook’s Tour' and 'Kitchen Confidential'.
