World-renowned food and travel writer Anthony Bourdain’s last-ever book has been released. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide by Bourdain and his assistant and collaborator Laurie Woolever started working on the book in 2018, before Bourdain’s death in the same year at the age of 61.
‘In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places – in his own words,’ the back cover reads. ‘Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid.’
In an interview with Forbes, Woolever said this book represents a good selection of those places he’d send someone if they asked him for advice.
‘It is of course tremendously bittersweet to see World Travel now out in a world without Tony, but I am very proud of it, glad to have had the chance to make a tangible piece of his legacy, and grateful to the people from his life who contributed the essays throughout the book,’ Woolever added.
The book will hit the shelves in South Africa on 30 June 2021. You can pre-order it here.
