Eric Schlosser was the American journalist who dished up the stomach-churning

Fast Food Nation

Now Schlosser's back with another savage investigation - this time the focus is America's booming black market economies in pornography, marijuana and the trafficking of illegal immigrants.

He believes that this dark, sleazy side to the American culture and economy is just as accurate a portrait of a nation as what's above the surface. He gives a talk and signs copies.

  • Tue 29 Apr, 6.30pm, Great Hall, King's College, 157-171 Strand, WC2 (020-7292 5100). £5. Tickets available from Blackwell's Bookshop, 100 Charing Cross Road, WC2. Reefer Madness And Other Tales From The American Underground by Eric Schlosser (Penguin, £10.99).
