Tao Lin clones... EVERYWHERE!

Tao Lin appreciation thread. Let's discuss his work. My favorite work of his is his poem, "i went fishing with my family when i was five"

I'm curious to know what /lit/ thinks of Tao.

I guess some writers are so good that they can write quite detached from themselves.

I have a friend who writes awesome advertising and technical manuals for electronic products which he loathes.

Tao Lin? We love him.

O,k,, just finished his latest one. I want to vomit.

Am I the only one who thinks this guy's scrabbling is just a ripoff Bret Easton Ellis --who, in turn, kind of rips off Philip Roth?

Moreover, am I the only one who finds his public persona unoriginal and obnoxious?

i'm ready to throw the Tao Lin. does anyone have any pdf copies of his work? i already have Yates.

>tfw Tao Lin is monitoring this thread and we are now the subjects of his next book

fuck

Holy shit. I used to think that Tao Lin was an obnoxious hack who compensated for his lack of talent with an aggressive Internet-based self-advertising campaign.

And then I realized this and realized that he truly is the voice of this generation.

So is this guy a joke or what?

No one can appreciate the genius of Tao Lin until they appreciate his place within the canon of World Literature.

The best approach is therefore to read every book ever written by anyone before attempting to read a Tao Lin book.

One unfortunate side-effect of this appraoch is that you will never actually get around to reading Tao Lin, but that's a price worth paying.

David's ghost told me that I am his favorite writer and that everyone else is garbage compared to me.

It has been statiscally proven that I am a genius.

You should be honoured to bask in the reflections of my splendor.
