DESCRIPTION:Ever dreamed of changing the world? Daniel Simpson shows how not to do 
 it.\n\nHis memoir charts a gonzo career at The New York Times. Ambitious 
 and idealistic, he was hired to report on the Balkans but quit within 
 months, freaked out by his editor’s zeal for starting 
 wars.\n\nDisillusioned, Daniel went to Belgrade. Together with the 
 charismatic G, who’d appeared one night in lavish puffs of dope smoke, he 
 decided to organize Serbia’s version of Woodstock: a festival on an 
 island in the Danube.\n\nMusic could revolutionize the country. It was run 
 by a wartime mafia, and most young people dreamed of leaving. But what if 
 they made it Ibiza crossed with Glastonbury? To fund this transition, they 
 hustled Daniel’s contacts, but shady local businessmen had other ideas. 
 Mr Big muscled in, and embroiled with them with his henchmen.\n\nWhy do 
 good intentions go awry? With brutally honest humor, Daniel recounts his 
 journey to the edge, and a desperate drug-fuelled quest for the truth. "A 
 Rough Guide To The Dark Side" is a real-life trip through organized crime. 
 In essence, it’s Fear and Loathing in the Balkans, but with added bile 
 and an overdose of hubris.\n\n\nJoin Daniel for a reading, signing, and 
 discussion of his book.\n
