Hey alt-/lit/

Have you bought Taipei or Lolito yet?
Did you/are you enjoying them?

What do you think of this reading of some alt-lit?

that's a terrible stance. one punch and he'd be sprawled all over the floor, and the lopsided fringe ensures he'll never see a right hook coming

It's "ART". Note how the same photos are reused multiple times but in a random order so it looks like they're all different. Supposed to be thought-provoking on the subject of promiscuity or slut-shaming or something like that.

I have not read Taipei or Lolito.
I read Ben Brooks' Growing up. It read like a skins novelisation. I guess because I'm 25 and he's like 12 I couldn't relate.

I've read Tao Lin up to Richard Yates. His short stories/novella's are the only good ones.

I wish Noah cicero wrote another book.

Scott Mclanahan is the only current alt-lit writer I can stand.
I like Sam Pink, but he's very samey.

Sam Pink is probably the most creative writer in that scene, imo

I wont deny his talent. I love his books, but they all have really similar themes.

I think his plays are the fucking best thing to come out of the alt-lit scene though.

Taipei is clearly the best thing Tao has written.

I'll probably pick it up at some point. I don't really follow the alt-scene to see the reviews. Mainly because the alt-scene is so much dick sucking. It's why I stopped being around the whole scene.

It's made up of so many Steve Roggenbuck clones, the scene just needs to die.

If you don't think Beach Sloth is the best alt-lit hero you don't know anything about anything
