(Ebook) Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview And Other Conversations by Anthony Bourdain, Helen Rosner ISBN 9781612198248, 1612198244

The brilliant intellect and candour 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.

The Last Interview Series: Melville House has been publishing a popular series of books called The Last Interview and Other Conversations which celebrates the heroes and innovators of art, politics and literature with a collection of interviews and conversations that span their creative lives.
