Kristine answers “I kept a dog eared Kitchen Confidential on...”

Kennedy asked this question about Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly:

I kept a dog eared Kitchen Confidential on the car back seat for years & would look forward to a free moment where I could flip to and get lost in any page. Just two weeks ago I gave it to a friend who looks just like the author. Anthony Bourdain died today. Exhilarating. Enlightening. Enticing. Literally 'no reservations' ...to this day I am suspicious when eating out. Should I ask for the book back?

Kristine Suicide, is not exhilarating or any other adjective, then devastating. You are not cute or profound. Yes, give the book back. This was a talented man …moreSuicide, is not exhilarating or any other adjective, then devastating. You are not cute or profound. Yes, give the book back. This was a talented man w demons and ultimately he lost. He had all the talent and ability to not go down that road. It is horrible, do not glamorize it in any way. (less)

Neil Fulwood Kennedy isn’t glamorising suicide. The adjectives were used in respect of the book.

Abby Allen Yeah..Kennedy was definitely not glamorizing suicide. Re-read the statement and how she used grammar to separate thoughts.
