The book, due in fall 2019, is described as “an authorized portrait of the writer, veteran chef and television traveler, built from stories shared by those who knew him best." The book will be edited by Bourdain's long-time assistant, Laurie Woolever. "After working with and collaborating with Tony since 2004, I’m honored to now be working with his estate, and talking to the people who knew him best, in order to share the story of a life that influenced so many people, in so many ways, all across the globe," says Woolever.
