As many have noted, Anthony Bourdain’s Typhoid Mary: An Urban Historical, probably reflects more of Bourdain’s worldview than Mary Mallon’s. But his sympathy for her as a human being is so appealing we feel he knows her. What I do know is that then reading this, his use of language on the page, brings a pang and makes me realize, once more, how much we lost when we lost Bourdain.
