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

Intimate backstage pass into Anthony Bourdain's world.

If you're drawn to Anthony Bourdain's adventurous and raw spirit, "In the Weeds" is a compelling pick. Imagine peeling back the layers of television's gloss to reveal the gritty realities of travel and the complexities of a man who brought the world into our homes. Tom Vitale offers an unvarnished look at the chaos and charm behind Bourdain's celebrated shows, and it's as close as you can get to understanding the legend from someone who stood by his side for years.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Nominated for the 2022 BookTube Prize in Nonfiction. Anthony Bourdain's longtime director and producer takes readers behind the scenes to reveal the insanity of filming television in some of the most volatile places in the world and what it was like to work with a legend. In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale. Over the course of more than a decade traveling together, Tony became a boss, a friend, a hero and, sometimes, a tormentor. In the Weeds takes readers behind the scenes to reveal not just the insanity that went into filming in some of the most far-flung and volatile parts of the world, but what Tony was like unedited and off-camera. From the outside, the job looked like an all-expenses-paid adventure to places like Borneo, Vietnam, Iran, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Libya. What happened off-camera was far more interesting than what made it to air. The more things went wrong, the better it was for the show. Fortunately, everything fell apart constantly.
