it took a while for it to get going but once it did, i thought it was a beautiful meditation on malaise and displacement, like the sun also rises written in a tumblr post.

is tao lin's prose stuff really considered "new sincerity"? i can see it in some of his poetry but the stories and novels of his that i've read so far have no shortage of ironic detachment. or maybe i'm misreading him

i haven't read taipei yet but probably will this summer.

DFW is the poster boy.

DFW is ironically sincere. He pretends to be sincere to disavow post-modernism, while all the while it being a sham.

Arguably, the most ironic writer yet.

In postmodern America where everything has to pass for a ironic filter first, being sincere becomes ironic, So yes and no.

he occasionally fights irony with irony. but he also bares his heart and soul more openly than almost anyone since the romantics. i defy you to read "good old neon" or "on his deathbed..." or "the depressed person" and tell me dfw is insincere.

Just a reminder that New Sincerity isn't a real thing.
