I know nothing about Tao Lin other than that the Pictures For Sad Children guy likes him.

Why is he bad?
Why is he good?
What are his books about?

He's alright. It takes a really enthused person to write with motive of pounding in how trifling and banal american culture is. If that's one of the points he'd like to get across, then GJ Tao, you're right on the money.

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?

Now I like Brandon and Ellen and the whole muumuuhouse thing, but some of the that thought catalog stuff is such a drag. That jordan kid is like in high school and 17 and is probably the biggest hipster i've ever seen.

I actually bought his new book and to this day, it is still the only book I have ever donated to goodwill.
