While the world is far from clear of COVID-19, many are beginning to feel hopeful that travel and dining will be safer in the near future. Originally slated for 2020, production costs delayed World Travel’s release, but this may be fortuitous. To provide context around the words Woolever deftly pulled from Bourdain’s TV shows and writings, she collected essays from his friends, colleagues, and his brother Christopher Bourdain, whose contributions are particularly illuminating of the life Bourdain lived.
Entries on each location include some information about where to stay and how to get around, but the emphasis is not so much on the practicalities of visiting a city as it is on Bourdain’s love of and connection to a place, his experiences there, and the ways in which food is entwined with a larger culture and global political histories. World Travel is set up like a travel guide that spans 43 countries. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide is out April 20.
