When I got to the last chapter, I was waiting to understand what crime Anthony Bourdain had committed or had been a part of uncovering, beyond drug use, before I realized that in the subtitle also notes rebels.

This series of articles were published in the New Yorker magazine over a period of 10-12 years. The subjects are varied but the constant is someone trying to get away with something illegal. The article on Anthony Bourdain doesn’t fit that theme though Bourdain was enough of a rogue where I can see why Keefe wanted to include him. I especially appreciated each coda with an update on the people profiled.
This is excellent true crime journalism, meticulously written, thoroughly fact-checked, and endlessly fascinating.
