  • Bourdain's Beirut

    [Read the article: Watching Beirut die]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What I have always loved about Anthony Bourdain -- in addition to

    his seemingly effortless mastery of lively, incisive, and funny writing --

    is his evident respect for other cultures. He communicates his sorrow over the bombing of Beirut powerfully, giving us all the small moments that drive

    the reality home. (Wish that GW could see himself and that buttered roll in a

    searing moment of clarity and shame.) Bourdain is already a gifted writer and observer, and I can only wonder how this experience will affect his life and work.

    Thanks for sharing the article.
