In the Weeds: Around the World and Behind the Scenes with Anthony Bourdain by Tom Vitale

challenging dark sad medium-paced

5.0

Anthony Bourdain's death deeply affected me, and to be honest, I've had trouble consuming any media about him or from him since he died. This was the first piece of media I've consumed about him since his death, and I'm really glad I chose this book as the way to reacquaint myself with him. This wasn't just a book about Anthony Bourdain - it was a book about grief and about seeing people complexly, and how important it is to remember that the people around us are just *people* - complicated, messy and imperfect - rather than whatever ideals we build up in our minds. This book was brutally honest, raw and beautiful. I absolutely loved it.
