tao lin you bastard you just wrote Taipei again. how could you. how dare you

>>18772654
Never said I was Tao, I just have pages from the book

>>18776437
Post opening pages here bro

>>18776814
(actual first page of his book)
"The day Li arrived in Taipei for a ten-week visit, he and his parents went to a surgeon to discuss his chest deformity. The surgeon asked Li what he did. Li said he wrote novels.

“Knows about everything, then?”

“I write novels so I know nothing,” said Li, who normally might’ve replied, “Ng,” a grunted word meaning “yes,” “right,” “okay,” or “I see,” but was on a quarter-tab of LSD.

Li’s mom laughed a little.

The surgeon opened a computer presentation on pectus excavatum, which affected around 1 in 125 people and had no known cause. First described in print in the sixteenth century, it gave one a sunken, undersized chest, crowding and flattening the heart and lungs. Surgical correction began in 1911. This surgeon had done the Nuss procedure, in which curved metal bars were embedded behind the ribs and sternum for up to four years, around six hundred times.

Li had felt deformed since grade school. In Florida, among scant Asians, he’d usually been the smallest boy in each class. His six-years-older brother, Mike, had called him fish lips, buckteeth, mutant, and other names that had made him feel self-conscious and ugly. In high school and college, he’d been a frail, gloomy, awkward, anxious, troublingly shy loner. When he learned at age twenty-three that his chest was deformed, he’d rejected surgery, deciding instead to use the insight as motivation to be healthier, but now, at thirty-one, he was reconsidering. Maybe he’d be happier and stabler, with less back pain, if his chest wasn’t concave. He lacked money and insurance, so had talked to his parents, who’d suggested he, who lived in New York City, fly to Taiwan, where healthcare was inexpensive.

It was November 4, 2014. Li got a CT scan. The surgeon looked at images of his chest and said he’d have a sixty-year-old’s heart when he was forty unless he got surgery. The prognosis seemed uncompelling and somewhat vague to Li, who’d recently estimated he’d live to only around fifty."

Leave Taipei

>>18767014
someone make a tao lin chart, i want to read him

>>18771163
ok but actually, taipei. and his poems.

>>18781619
fuck off

>>18780657
they were raped by Tao but they also are sad he broke up with them? hmmm

>>18781619
Start with Shoplifting from American Apparel

it's not bad so far but it's also making me realize.. moreso than ever before... how pathetic tao's life is.......... bros

first chapter: he doesnt get a surgery to fix his chest deformity, he relies on cannabis and lsd for pain relief, his parents still constantly bicker, he has constant back pain which limits his movement and is the motivation for much of his bizarre health bullshittery

I'll buy two

>>18780657
waistoid dipshit, I hope I get to smash your face one day

>>18783295
go to bed, tao

>>18782662

You’re just as shitty as him tee bee haytch. Rape culture exists because of people like you.

>>18783316
>>18783351
You'll spend your life avoiding Tao and if Goddess wills it you will fall into my clutches. I hope your big mean mfs, cuz it won't mean nothing if your pipsqueaks.

>>18783252
Does Tao really have chest deformity irl? I looked it up and he never has mentioned it so I just assumed he was being more fictional for a change

>>18767014
Let us pray for Tao, anons

>>18767022
Every day :D

>>18783287
me too

>>18783441
yeah, its not that unlikely. its pretty common. pectus excavatum. and it kind of forces you to be a weak basedboy, which he is.

>>18783657
>weak basedboy
Wanna say that to his face, faggot?

>>18783745
what tao lacks in sheer physical strength he more than makes up for in psycho/tard stamina

>>18783772
Sure, and he’s got that charisma that just draws you in.

>>18780657
?

>>18767022
did he ever, or is this just a meme?

>>18783657
I don't know anon his chest looks normal, I think our boy is finally using his imagination

>>18783920
In Taipei he writes about posting in /lit/

>>18783908
she took back the allegations

This is the best thing he’s done. Probably because his victim wrote half of it.
