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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout 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.","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Melville House |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2019-08-20","offer_id":44151076454655,"sku":"9781612198248","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/9781612198248_tnmd.jpg?v=1721916815","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781612198248","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
