Description
Mark Time's latest memoir turns the tables on his previous adventures in America's Mid West. In "Going Around The Bend", he recounts his journey as a misguided adventurer, leaving behind his life in green to join the ranks of those who have ventured into the unknown. As part of a kayaking expedition down the Mississippi River, Mark navigates a world of surreal encounters, including death, elk, and heroin addicted teachers. Along the way, he paints a unique caricature of the region, filled with humour and misfortune. With his signature style, Mark Time shares his story in a way that will appeal to travel fans tired of sycophantic travel blogs. This memoir is the latest instalment in Mark Time's military/travel crossover series, following on from "Going Commando" and "Going All The Way".
