“Tao Lin's writing has been called "menacing," "profoundly peculiar," (The Guardian) and "purposefully raw" (Time Out New York). Tao Lin himself has been called "opaque, mysterious, "inscrutable,"" (The Atlantic) and a "deadpan literary trickster" (The New York Times). For Tao Lin's latest novel, Richard Yates—which James Frey called a "heartbreakingly life-affirming meditation on extremes"—Tao Lin sold $2000 shares of his future profits to investors. He has spent time in holding cells for shoplifting, one instance of which he recently recounted for Gawker and once sold batteries on eBay to support himself. While we enjoyed the antics of the struggling writer, looks like his days as a battery salesman may soon be over.”
