I believe that Tao Lin is sometimes misread and held up as an example of that which he interrogates in his fiction. Tao Lin is an American novelist, poet, essayist, short-story writer, and artist. I like most any place if I have Internet access.I’m usually listening to the same playlist or ‘artist’ before I arrive at the computer as when I’m walking somewhere after leaving the computer. I don’t have specific music for when I’m writing.The correct arrangement of words will make these bad feelings go away tonight.I think everyone is ‘racist’, to differing degrees, in that everyone’s brain will automatically associate information with other information, based on the information they are looking at, but I think focusing on race in any manner that isn’t neutral or self-aware probably increases racism.My first novel in 8 years will be out on August 3. Novels–and memoirs–are perhaps the most comprehensive reports humans can deliver, of their private experiences, to other humans.

And I am pretty sure no one is going to be paying taxes on any of it.Happy Birthday, Tao Lin, born 2 July 1983. An engrossing, hopeful novel about life, fiction, and where the two blur together. From the acclaimed author of Taipei, a bold portrait of a writer working to balance all his livesartist, son, loneras he spins the ordinary into something monumental. I really enjoyed reading Trip: Psychedelics, Alienation, and Change by Tao Lin. (Kidding XO!) What can we learn from this? A controlling stake in a hypothetical major work by a minor possessor of literary microfame is worth $12,000. Leave Society (Vintage Contemporaries) Paperback August 3, 2021. And Matt Schwartz, the writer of that Times Magazine piece on internet trolls also bought 10%, although Matt is my ex-boyfriend so he may have done that to personally antagonize me. A nineteen-year-old intern and neurotic blogger named Soffi bought ponied up two grand, as did a popular University of Houston philosophy professor Tao did not even know. Did it work? Yes!

Tired? Poor? Starting to wonder if you'll be a creative underclassman forever?
