## Summary

Hardcover biography titled 'Happier, Stupider Times: Anthony Bourdain's Provincetown Years' featuring a light blue cover with a central photograph and black typography.

## Description

“I learned every important lesson, all the most important lessons of my life, as a dishwasher.” Anthony Bourdain arrived in 1970s Provincetown with big ideas about becoming a writer and zero experience working in kitchens. Then he started washing dishes and quickly fell in with “the pirate elite”—the cooks, artists, and partiers who defined the anything-goes lifestyle of summers in P-town. Happier, Stupider Times is a sunwashed trip to the place and time that shaped Bourdain’s formative years, from the fishermen at the port to the culinary traditions and swashbuckling nightlife.  Including:  Maps, menus, and rarely seen ephemera from iconic Provincetown establishments Original recipes for local dishes like Portuguese kale soup and Cape Cod clam bakes Artwork and photographs by the artists who lived there Plus never-before-seen images of Bourdain and his crew
