Tao Lin (READING) Who is Tao Lin? According to Time Out: "a
literary phenomenon—a DIY writer who's making a name for himself
without an MFA or a mainstream publisher." Publishers Weekly:
"a prolific blogger... for whom the web is an integral part of writing
and life." Matt Briggs, writing in this week's Stranger: "He
is an infuriating blend of ambition, immature talent, and
beautifully aggressive drive." His first two books of fiction
are being released simultaneously: Bed and Eeeee Eee
Eeee. (Elliott Bay Book Company, 101 S Main St, 624-6600. 7:30

even the fact that he's hot can't make me go see him. "infuriating" is right. everything i've read by him goes from very good to very bad so fast that i'm not sure he knows his good is good but i can't help but feel he knows his bad is bad. endorsed by the amazing miranda july whose last endorsement, those inflatable wind people that flail around on the side of the highway, doesn't do it for me either.
