AVAILABLE FROM TAO LIN
“ A REVOLUTIONARY.” —
THE STRANGER (SEATTLE)
“ Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass—from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious.”
—Miranda July, author of
No One Belongs Here More Than You
“Prodigal, unpredictable.” —
Paste Magazine
“ Stimulating and exciting....It doesn’t often happen that a debuting writer displays not only irrepressible talent but also the ability to undermine the conventions of fi ction and set off in new directions.” —
The San Francisco Bay Guardian
“ [A] harsh and absurd new voice in writing. Employing Raymond Carver’s poker face and Lydia Davis’s bleak analytical mind, Lin renders ordinary—but tortured—landscapes of failed connections among families and lovers that will be familiar to anyone who has been unhappy.” —
