/lit/, I know jack shit about Tao Lin. Who is he and why do you guys hate him?
4chan : Facebook : : Thomas Pynchon : Tao Lin
He made visits to this forum sometimes.
vira/lit/
I wonder how many of the Tao threads were actually started by Tao. He must have come here since he links the threads on his twitter, but then he also has his name on Google alerts. Sage for troll topic. Enjoy your thread's inevitable popularity.
We'd probably like him if he didn't post here. For a notable person to do so is like fucking a beehive. Andrew WK made out okay, but that's just because he'd probably make out okay in fucking a beehive irl.
Seriously? You hate him just because he advertises his books here?
>>2017914Well, there's that and the obvious fact of CHING CHONG NIG NOG.
>>2017939Explain.
>>2017939Your racism amuses me.Also op: Tao Lin is the writer of our generation. He captures our depression, our longing to be something, but lazyness to achieve it. Tao Lin is Generation Y incarnate.
Never heard of him until i somehow ended up in this place... So i got curious and bought shopligting from american apparel. It wasnt that bad imho. Well i didnt hate it, But it wasnt something special either. I recently bought Richard Yates but didnt start reading it yet. But its funny that people here seem to hate him but they are the reason i started reading him...
>>2017966Eeeee Eee Eeee is his best work.
>>2017914No, we also hate him because he is "toiling up the wrong road to art", as my hamster once said about Emile Zola. Actually the hamster may have said "plodding and sweating up the wrong road to art". But the hamster definitely compared reading Tao Lin to reading Au Bonheur des Dames after first lobotomizing it and surgically removing the plot.I love my hamster.

>>2017868He sold his book to randomhouase for $50k
>>2018114...and thus condemned /lit/ to another thousand threads of viral marketing bullshit by your dumb ass, Tao.Your wife, Megan Boyle is a dirty whore cunt. 50k wont change that.
>>2018150What you say?! Megan Boyle rules.
Hi Tao, please make this suggestion come true
What is Megan Boyle's profession. Is she that comedian that does some stuff on the comedy network? Or does she just look like that girl?BTW I have only heard of Tao Lin from this board and have no desire to read any of his work, main reason being, and this is totally shallow, that he looks like a douche and by douche I mean hipster
>>2018000Have you seen the video?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjcOK2T0lPolol
>>2019049i loldnow i like him
He's the most minor of minor authors, but /lit/is obsessed with him. I read Richard Yates, and it was kinda decent, but good, not great, certainly not anything special. Just a little bit fresh and unusual.
any PDFS of his shit?
Tao, do you just start the same thread every time the last one 404s?If I ever see you, I'm gonna punch you right in the dick, I swear.
>>2019059>someone thinks 'minor literature' is an insultobviously haven't been reading your deleuze and guattari tut tut tut
YEAH, LEAVE TAO LIN ALONE YOU FUCKS
