From the back of the book:
'What happens to people like me who were once "pop" stars? Am I destined for a life of daytime television appearances, reunion tours and well-meaning strangers struggling to recognize me before hestitatingly asking "didn't you used to be Marc Almond?"'

Despite turning 45, a milestone age that can often result in some sort of mid-life crisis, Marc Almond, singer and songwriter, is not quite ready to take his place on the 'they were once famous' line-up.

In Search of the Pleasure Palace is Marc Almond's quest for meaning in life now that he is in the Indian summer of his career. In this rollercoaster journey, Marc goes in pursuit of the thrills, spills and bellyaches that made each day of his youth memorable and created an image of him that was decadent, outrageous and worryingly misunderstood.

From swingers' nights in Croydon to the lost haunts of Barcelona, from Bangkok go-go bars to Vegas lap-dance clubs, from Russia's surreal underbelly to the pre-Giuliani clean-up New York, Marc is your observant guide to a world he was once part of - through fantastic, wry anecdote.

Marc Almond, the former epitome of counter-culture, is now in search of our present-day equivalent and in doing so finds a life after pop, after youth - a life in which he is still very much a part.
