Alan Platt

Alan Platt is a former rock critic, club-owner and award-winning copywriter who, in between doing all that, went traveling. Everywhere. And did some very silly things. And got into some very funny scrapes. Foreign Fool is his first collection of these comical, often raunchy and occasionally perilous misadventures. His music writing was always known for its cool and witty style, but with this book, it's clear that his best and funniest subject is himself.
