Author: Sharaf, Juliana

Condition: New

To quote the man himself, 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. As prodigious as his quips and quotes have become, they all have two things in common: 1. They grab your attention. 2. The man was never at a loss for words or an opinion. Bourdains 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, Bourdains 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 collects the edgiest, wittiest, most revealing of Bourdains quotes in one highly desirable package. He once said Essentially, I treated the world as my ashtray. Just eight words. But he somehow painted a picture more detailed than others could in a novel. This collection, filled with hundreds of similarly compelling quotes, is a celebration of the mans wit, intelligence and soul.
