/lit/ - Literature

Wow, that prose is fucking abysmal. Even by Tao Lin's incredibly low standards.

Quickly: name every single contemporary author whose up and coming work gets hyped on /lit/!

Just Tao Lin.

Yeah, nothing suspicious here.

"I am the literary equivilant of ebaums world."

Is this an excerpt from Tao Lin's latest novel, or his latest blog post?

My Tao Lin novel:

"Ha ha, ya foo'!"

Tao Lin is a faggot who spends 10% of his life writing books and 90% of his life self-promoting his books.

By posting fake reviews online where he constantly refers to himself as "the voice of a generation" he's successfully fooled the literature-inept into believing that he is the voice of a generation.

If he wasn't such a notoriously successful v1ral marketer he would just be another Christopher Paolini.

I vote for a Tao Lin adventure game

curious who this ugly duder was, I decided to do some cursory googling. What I saw makes pic related look like Proust

Tao Lin is shit. His "style" is lazy. It's easy to copy, too. I'm doing it right now.

Hemingway was a good writer, unlike Tao Lin. It's difficult to emulate Hemingway, because he was a good writer, and it's hard to be good.

It's easy to be Tao Lin, because it's easy to suck.

He should spend less time promoting himself and more time actually being a writer.

His bibliography is so tiny and so mediocre, yet he wont stop pretending like he's be biggest thing since sliced bread.

If we're going to laugh and point at people posting glowing review for their own work, can we oust Tao Lin and Sasha Grey next?

so now Tao is admitting he shit posts here?

what an idiot.

Tao Lin is the Sasha Grey of literature.

I'm not who you're talking to, but /lit/ really is a pile of shit.

Nobody on this board even knows what a theme is, and books are rarely ever discussed here.

I mean, fuck, there's nothing on the front page right now but this shit and a bunch of Tao Lin trolls.

Tao Lin is like the Sasha Grey of literature.

Tao Lin is far better at selling himself than he is at writing.

how much time do you spend writing and how much time do you spend self-promoting your writing?

Tao Lin should quit writing and get himself a job as a marketer, because the only thing he's good at is pushing himself as the next big thing.

All he did was keep talking about how awesome he was until people started buying into it. And he has, what, three books to show for it?
