Bad Trips
How I Went from VICE Reporter to International Drug Smuggler
S
Slava Pastuk B
Brian Whitney- The well-publicized story of the VICE music reporter who was caught smuggling cocaine, written by the man himself, uncovering the culture at VICE magazine that led to drug smuggling ring
- Slava Pastuk is currently incarcerated for conspiring to import drugs from U.S. to Australia; he is expected to be on parole when the book is released
- A very honest, open account of drug smuggling and the conditions working for VICE; for example, the office always had an open drinks bar and cases of beer were free for the taking, drug-use was widespread, and reporters were encouraged to go over-the-top for their stories
- A story about the age of the hipster: without morals, politics, to the point of nihilism
- Similar to confessional true crime stories, such as the bestseller Mr. Nice by Howard Marks
- All royalties from the book go to co-author Brian Whitney, who is a popular true-crime writer
