Book Log 2006 #50: The Nasty Bits by Anthony Bourdain

This new book is actually a compendium of stories, some (perhaps most) previously published. But as I don't often pick up Gourmet or the like, they were all new to me!

I still like Bourdain more as a writer than on TV, and if the writing is anything to go by, he seems to think of himself in the same way. The only thing I didn't care for in the collection was how comments about each story were put together at the end. It'd have been more useful to put them after each story. Not all of the stories are jewels, but in the balance there's no bit that's too nasty.
