I just don't get why people waste their time with adventurous, fiction books - the James Bond, Jack Ryan type - where they could find even more thrilling, shocking tales taking place no more far away that their favourite restaurant at the end of the street. Bourdain's memoir of his life of excesses as a chef in New York City and around has created a genre, but most of all it's one of the most entertaining and nail-biting books I have found in a long time. It deals with the most sought after of human pleasure, the one that tops money and even (sometimes) sex: food.
Nice little book, strictly arranged by quarter with an emphasis on the listing of cafés, restaurants, shops. Not so much a general reference for the life in the town or a guidebook to read to get an idea of the place.
Un'altra tappa nella divertente esplorazione delle relazioni urbane tipica dei personaggi britannici di Mike Gayle. Questa volta: come si fa a trovare nuovi amici dopo i trent'anni?
