Brazos Book of the Month August 2010

Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain

Medium Raw

The long-awaited follow-up to the megabestseller Kitchen Confidential.

In the ten years since his classic Kitchen Confidential first alerted us to the idiosyncrasies and lurking perils of eating out, from Monday fish to the breadbasket conspiracy, much has changed for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business—and for Anthony Bourdain.

Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author's bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-traveling professional eater and drinker, and even to fatherhood, Bourdain takes no prisoners as he dissects what he's seen, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food.

WITS 25th Anniversary: Li Cunxin

November 5, 2009 - 6:15pm

 

An Evening of Memory, Story, and Power

In celebration of their 25th anniversary, WITS invite you to join them for a special event on November 5, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the Junior League of Houston. Li Cunxin will return to Houston where he made history as the former principal dancer at the Houston Ballet. The fascinating story of his life is recorded in his memoir, Mao's Last Dancer, and has recently been brought to life on the big screen in a new major motion picture of the same title.

In many ways Li Cunxin is the perfect person to speak on behalf of WITS.  Just as Li told his powerful life story in his memoir, WITS encourages and teaches thousands of children every year to tell their own stories in their own voices.  WITS empowers Houston children so that many more powerful stories can be told.
