Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview - Anthony Bourdain

The New York Times Bestseller The brilliant intellect and candor of Anthony Bourdain is on full display in this collection of interviews from throughout his remarkable career, with an introduction from The New Yorker's Helen Rosner. 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.

Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts - Anthony Bourdain, Joel Rose

On a dark, haunted night, a Russian Oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles - where each storyteller tells a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings - and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.

James Baldwin: The Last Interview - Quincy Troupe, James Baldwin

I was not born to be what someone said I was. I was not born to be defined by someone else, but by myself, and myself only.'' James Baldwin lived by that creed. When, in the fall of 1987, the poet Quincy Troupe travelled to the south of France to interview a critically ill James Baldwin, they knew it was his last chance to speak at length about his life and work. The result is one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin''s career, ranging widely over his youth in Harlem, his friendship with Miles Davis and Toni Morrison and his thoughts on race.''

Hunter S. Thompson: The Last Interview - Hunter S. Thompson

More than a decade after his death, Hunter S. Thompson is as popular - and as relevant - as ever. Vigorously political, he both anticipated the situation in Washington now and here, in a collection that ranges from an early conversation with Studs Terkel, to a decade-long exchange with editor David Streitfeld, to his last public interview (no longer available online), his prescience is both exhilarating and profound.

In this collection of in-depth interviews — including her last, as well as one of her first — Ginsburg details her rise from a Brooklyn public school to becoming the second woman on the United States Supreme Court, and her non-stop fight for gender equality along the way. Besides telling the story behind many of her famous court battles, she also talks openly about motherhood and her partnership with her beloved husband, her Jewishness, her surprising friendship with her legal polar opposite Justice Antonin Scalia, her passion for opera, and, in one of the collection’s most charming interviews, offers advice to high school students wondering about the law.

Frida Kahlo: The Last Interview - Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo is now an icon. In the decades since her death, Kahlo has been celebrated as a proto-feminist, a misunderstood genius, and a leftist hero, but at the time of her brief career, most knew her as ... Diego''s wife. Featuring conversations with Marxist Bertram D. Wolfe and art critic Raquel Tibol, this collection shows an artist undervalued, but also a woman in control of her image. From a timid artist after her first solo show to a woman who confidently states that she is her only influence, the many faces of Kahlo presented in these pages make clear the foundations of the ''Fridamania'' we know today.

Lou Reed: The Last Interview - Lou Reed

At the time of his death in 2013, Lou Reed was the closest thing rock ''n'' roll had to a living legend. His band The Velvet Underground was undoubtedly one of the most influential groups of all time, transforming rock ''n'' roll forever. His solo work over the next forty years would define, redefine and reshape glam rock, noise rock, and instrumental music. These conversations capture Reed''s vision of himself as a poet and a writer. His albums, he said, added up to the great American novel.

Ursula Le Guin: The Last Interview - Ursula K. Le Guinová

When she began writing, Ursula K. Le Guin was as much of a literary outsider as one can be: she was a woman writing in a landscape dominated by men, she wrote genre at a time where it was dismissed as non-literary, and she lived West, far from fashionable East coast literary circles. The interviews collected here - covering everything from her Berkeley childhood to her process of world-building, from her experiments with genre to envisioning the end of capitalism - highlight that unique perspective, which conjured some of the most prescient and lasting books in modern literature.

Anthony Bourdain Unloaded - Juliana Sharaf

Anthony Bourdain once bragged he could “unload my opinion on anybody at any time." And that he did. His entire life seemed like a compendium of insightful (sometimes inflammatory) quotes, witty observations and touching moments he shared openly with the world. The man was never at a loss for words or an opinion. Bourdain’s unusual perspective was born out of decades of listening, tasting, writing and adventuring, allowing him to opine on everything from food to politics—with the same high level of enthusiasm.Regardless of the success he achieved, Bourdain’s stance was always that of a perpetual outsider who made it a point to embrace underrepresented voices, cultures, ideas and, yes, food. He found fame as a cook, a tv host and writer all while he circled the globe in search of more - encouraging his fans to take chances, step out of their comfort zones, and not just accept differences, but celebrate them. This handsome book examines the life of Anthony Bourdain, his knack for living with complete authenticity and the lessons we might learn by committing to the same level of passion and honesty. Bourdain once said “Essentially, I treated the world as my ashtray.” Just eight words. But ... Unknown localization key: "more"

**New for 2021: celebrate the life and legacy of the inimitable food writer with WORLD TRAVEL, Bourdain's guide to the global food scene, compiled by his long-time assistant and cookbook co-author** A lot has changed since Kitchen Confidential - for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business-and for Anthony Bourdain. Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author's bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he's seen and what he's seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food. And always he returns to the question: 'Why cook?' Or the harder one to answer: 'Why cook well?' Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs he compares to a Mafia summit, Bourdain, in his distinctive, no-holds-barred style, cuts to the bone on every subject he tackles. show less

Důvěrnosti z kuchyně - Anthony Bourdain

Téměř před dvaceti lety se v časopise The New Yorker objevil neblaze proslulý článek „Než se pustíte do jídla, čtěte následující!“ od tehdy málo známého šéfkuchaře Anthonyho Bourdaina. Svými postřehy o tom, co se děje za dveřmi kuchyně, nešetřil ničí chuťové buňky. Článek vyvolal senzaci a kniha, jež díky tomu vznikla, dnes už klasické Důvěrnosti z kuchyně, se stala ještě větší senzací a úspěšným bestsellerem s více než jedním milionem vydaných výtisků. Bourdain se v ní upřímně zpovídá, je návykově jízlivý, naprosto nemilosrdný a nic nezatajuje. Jeho příběhy z kuchyně jsou šokující, odhalují drsné praktiky „vysoké kuchyně“, ale jsou i vtipné, zábavné… a pravdivé. Bourdainovy vzpomínky na léta strávená v restauratérství nyní vycházejí rozšířené o dosud nepublikovaný materiál. Jistě vás nadchnou Tonyho ručně psané poznámky, zaujme rozhovor s jeho editorem a s chutí se začtete do předmluvy Érica Riperta, kuchaře, autora a televizní osobnosti specializující se na francouzskou kuchyni. Anthony Bourdain odhaluje: „Teď už chápu, proč se ta kniha kuchařům líbí a proč se zamlouvá i dalším lidem z branže. Nesčetněkrát jsem slyšel: ‚Popsal jsi můj život, kámo.‘“

Bourdain: Životopis - Laurie Wooleverová

Když v červnu 2018 Anthony Bourdain zemřel, jeho obdivovatelé z celého světa se spojili, aby oslavili jedinečného člověka, který věnoval život cestování a líčení příběhů lidí ze všech koutů zeměkoule. Vliv Bourdaina byl obrovský a jeho odkaz od smrti získal na významu. Autorka knihy, Laurie Wooleverová, byla Bourdainovou dlouholetou asistentkou a příležitostnou spolupracovnicí, proto je ideálním člověkem na vyprávění Tonyho příběhu. Pro biografii požádala o rozhovor bezmála stovku lidí. Patří k nim jeho rodinní příslušníci, bývalí kolegové z kuchyně, novináři, umělci, šéfkuchaři a přátelé z televizního a produkčního štábu, který se podílel na tvorbě jeho cestovatelských pořadů. Jejich vyprávění a vzpomínky odhalují některé stránky této složité osobnosti, jež on sám před veřejností skrýval. Biografie obsahuje i méně známé kapitoly jeho života, přičemž na konci se kniha věnuje dalšímu neúspěšnému experimentu - Bourdainovu vztahu s italskou herečkou a filmařkou Asiou Argentoovou, která je vylíčena jako jedna z mnoha drog, jimž Tony nedokázal odolat. Po přečtení této vynikající knihy může čtenář namítnout, že Bourdainova sebevražda byla krutou, a nikoli nezbytnou tečkou za bouřlivým životem tohoto mimořádného člověka. Anebo si může myslet, že po řadě varování se Bourdain prostě jen stal obětí svých četných závislostí.
