The legacy of the late Anthony Bourdain will live on in a forthcoming biography.
Cookbook author Paula Forbes took to Twitter to announce the authorized biography, which sounds as if it will take on a nontraditional format.
“According to ye olde Publishers Marketplace, @LaurieWoolever is editing Bourdain: The Oral Biography, ‘an authorized portrait of the writer, veteran chef and television traveler, built from stories shared by those who knew him best’ for Ecco,” read Forbes’ tweet.
