Happier, Stupider Times: Anthony Bourdain’s Provincetown Years

“one of the highlights of my career was shaping and executing the rollout strategy for matt johnson’s tony, which is officially showing nationwide as of today. as an extension of the world matt so thoughtfully resurrected, a24 books published a collection of archival photography, graphics, menus, and press clippings documenting the culinary world of provincetown in 1975. it’s a really special object for lovers of a) food culture, b) ephemera, c) ptown/the cape, and d) anthony bourdain. there are very few people, at least in my mind, who don’t fall into one of those categories.”

“A beautiful book from the inside out. Every page is more interesting than the last. "Happier Stupider Times is a fittingly irreverent and affectionate glimpse into Anthony Bourdain’s world and his deep connection to Provincetown. A book with as much character as the man himself, and a visual feast for those who appreciate a little wit with their substance." For fans of Anthony Bourdain, of Provincetown, of beautiful books, this one is for you.”
