Mark Tawen – R.I.P.

It is my duty to inform loyal followers of The Ugly American Book Club that the pseudonymous literary light Mark Tawen has passed into oblivion. The famed faux memoirist left this world joyfully surfing the Mekong River in the Golden Triangle where Laos meets Thailand and Myanmar. His ride ended when he collided with a boat speeding Chinese gamblers to Kings Romans Casino. Sail on, sail on, Sailor.
