Medium Raw, a compelling look into the life and world of Anthony Bourdain.
Bourdain writes in a manner that has the reader being in that moment. This book also shows that unfortunately he had in the past thoughts of suicide. We only see glimpses of people on TV. This, as his other works shows a much broader look inside his life. Some dark as well as light moments of what the world of food, TV and Tony's piece of it was like. A must read for any fan.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
