/lit/ - Literature

How in the fuck is Tao Lin a legit writer?

His work is shit. I just got done reading Shoplifting From American Apparel, a middle schooler could writer a better short novel.

WHAT THE FUCK??

So like, daily Tao Lin thread.

Go.

Just a reminder that he's the best thing to happen to literature since... I dont know. Name some name you like.

I already do this with taoism.

...

Tao Lin attempts to strip all similes, metaphors, figures of speech, etc. from his writing. Does this make the prose impervious to deconstruction?

I don't care if someone doesn't use them. To each his own. Calm the fuck down, you prole. (I use that phrase ironically)

hello sir, wanna be frends?

hi sir, wanna be frends?

hi /lit/

i forgot to refill my adderall this week and i couldn't concentrate on writing today for more than 3 hours. then i did 14 minutes of pilates before giving up and laying on my bed feeling "disgusted" and "bored" in a slightly ironic way. i eventually fell asleep and now i'm awake again.

i'm listening to atari teenage riot and feeling "blank"

what did you do today, /lit/?

I'll go first. Here's my pic. I'm from New York but willing to travel. I like modernist literature. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, etc. I'm a writer with a few books out, and some poetry. Anyone interested?

Sup, /lit/ I'm new here.

What are your thoughts on Tao Lin?
