A chance sighting of Medlar Lucan and Durian Gray in El Perriquito, a clandestine cabaret/brothel in old Havana, has led to the publishing coup of the millennium. The authors of The Decadent Cookbook and The Decadent Gardener have been lured by the promise of grotesque sums into taking up their pens once again, and laying bare the transgressive nature of another bourgeois passion - travel. The Decadent Traveller is a timely antidote to the nightmare world of backpacks, duty-frees and gastro-enteritis. It has little truck with 'adventure' holidays ("Trekking- that hideous gerund"- Durian Gray) or the sad illusion of two weeks as a middle-class peasant in Provence. ("I'd rather catch a dose of syphilis than stay in a renovated farmhouse"- Medlar Lucan.) Lucan ?Gray offer a sexual grand tour, a guide to all the places you are warned to avoid, and a compendium of louche conveyances: from Caligula's jewelled ship to Soraya Khashoggi's chocolate-filled executive jet.
