Reading
Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. The life of an itinerant chef that he describes bears certain similarities to that of a freelance writer. There’s an added poignancy reading it - in an edition published in 2012 - in the knowledge that he was to take his own life in 2018.
American Flagg by Howard Chaykin. A long-overdue re-reading of Chaykin’s dense, magisterial and eerily prescient vision of a corporatised, media-soaked and hyper-sexualized future.
