As co-author Laurie Woolever asks in her introduction to WORLD TRAVEL, “Did the world need another travel guide, and did we need to write it?” She goes on to tell the story of how the book grew from a conversation with her longtime collaborator and friend “Tony” back in the spring of 2017. Although the book she’d begun to plan with him in earnest ultimately took a different form than they’d envisioned, we now have a book that pairs Bourdain’s one-of-a-kind recommendations with essential context and information from Woolever. It also includes a powerful and heartfelt introduction by Woolever, supplemental essays by friends, colleagues, and family about what it was like to travel with Bourdain.
Join Laurie Woolever in virtual conversation with The New Yorker’s Helen Rosner for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening of reminiscing about the places Anthony Bourdain loved best.
