Not to be a dick but this is my first time hearing about this Tao Lin guy. I read a couple reviews on his works and decided to start reading Taipei just now. I'll reserve actual judgement for later but so far the exposition is ridiculously amateurish. It actually reads like something a high school English as a second language AP English student would write. Am I supposed to forgive that or is it intentional?

why does realism in film denote quality but is tied to really awful writers in literature? The only way I could see Lin's writing being realistic is if someone only hangs out with extremely vapid people void of a single original thought and the ability to speak without sounding like 12 year old girl gossiping.

>Haha literature has to be a challenge?

Literature should be a challenge from time to time, yes. But it doesn't have to be all the time.

He is partially right that if you truly want to be a discerning reader you should at least be challenging yourself *some* of the time. But he does come off like a little try hard wank about it.
