I once read stuff by Tao Lin. Same effect as reading DFW. I started feeling an itch in my anus and scratched it until a gun burbled out of it, which in turn I used to shoot my brains out to end the misery, though it shot feces so instead of ending the misery it blinded me temporarily. I was unable to burn he piece of shit (a.k.a. the book) until I washed the shit off my face. The stench was overwhelming and I could not chase it away but with burning paper, as my grandma used to tell me when we worked at the farm scooping pig crap off the stall. So I tried to burn the shit (Op.cit. book, see above) but a leprechaun appeared just in time to blow the burning match as I approached the book with evident book burning purposes. The leprechaun told me that Tao Lin had eaten DFW as Jeffrey Dahmer had told him, in order to suck up his literary prowess, and that ever since the chink had found the pot of gold. A pot which, by the way, had nothing to do with gold but with the leprechaun being eternally at the service of Tao Lin, being transported through time vortexes to every location where somebody was trying to burn a Tao Lin book. All in all, the leprechaun and I became pub buddies and once, during a night of alcohol-fueled debauchery, he confessed to me that his master gives great head.

I have never smoked weed ever since.

Lin is more from the Ellis 'Less Than Zero' school than the DFW one.

>voice of our generation
If tao lin the voice of this generation, then this generation is full of wankers.

Regardless. They're both tailor-made mumbo jumbo for easily-impressionable teens.

Well, the 3 of them, actually.

I see a lot of hate directed at this author. Anyone have a quick review of his body of work for me?
