"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
"If you put Gertrude Stein, Donald Barthelme, Stephen Dixon, and Andre Breton in a blender, you might get—well, I don't know what you'd get, but reading Tao Lin makes me wonder. He's the most distinctive young writer I've come upon in a long time: the most intrepid, the funniest, the strangest. He is actually completely unlike anyone else, so just forget the first part of this blurb. Tao Lin is a new voice, and the pleasure of reading his work is a new kind of pleasure." - Brian Morton
“TAO LIN WILL KICK YOUR ASS AND SAY THANK YOU AFTERWARDS!" - Amy Fusselman
"Tao Lin's territory is the rich, neglected space between the bigger things we thought we already knew. Only in his hands everything becomes strange--a little warped, a little sad, and a whole lot more intriguing. With understated lyricism he reminds us that if we can't fix things, then at least we can try to see them with perfect clarity." - Todd Hasak-Lowy

Wow. You took my link off your blog. After I apologized.
I was rejected, as a person, by Tao Lin.
Wow.
i didn't reject you as a person
the links list is small, it is mostly just all bear parade people plus clay banes and nick antosca and matthew simmons
Had I known you would post a list I wouldn't have used my girlfriend's paypal account.
Now she's getting all the publicity.
Sure.
You took it down and now you don't email me anymore.
I'm sad.
lamb fries,
which one are you? i will change
Sharon S.
Thank you.
i will probably email you later on maybe, it's good you kept trying to email me and confronted me when i ignored you
chuck, what publicity should i give you? you don't have a blog.
the picture of joy williams is good. i was surprised.
i'm going to sell a lot of copies of your books.
Sharon doesn't have a blog either.
I pre-ordered your book and you are now fucking with me. That's how Tao Lin treats his loyal readers: he fucks with them, plays mindgames in the comments section of his blog.
I used to have a blog. On the blog I posted my McSweeneys rejections. Then a submission got accepted and the blog was ruined.
Now I'm starting a print journal. It's called The Smell of Kissinger's Scrotum and the only thing I want from you Tao is for you to stop fucking with people, stop playing mindgames in the comments section and allow me to publish one of your stories in the inaugural issue. I would also like an Ellen Kennedy poem, a good one, of Alice Blue caliber and not some snowflake she was going to post on a blog. The Smell of Kissinger's Scrotum deserves more than that.
Not just his loyal readers either.
lamb fries, who are you?
tell me your full name and i'll link to something you did
you can have a story of mine and ellen if ellen wants
email us, where is your magazine's web site? are you lying? show us your web site 'chuck'
it is good to not go on blog for weeks and weeks and then go back and see your name in a link
you're welcome
thank you
goodnight
