Tao Lin is the author of the novels Richard Yates and Eeeee Eee Eeee. Taipai is a book without an ounce of self-pity, melodrama, or posturing, making the glacial Lin (Richard. Richard Yates is named. In a startling change of direction, cult favorite Tao Lin presents a dark. Richard Yates is named after real-life writer Richard Yates, but it has nothing to do.

I haven’t been writing about books lately, so let me do some. I have downloaded EPUB copies of Tao Lin’s Shoplifing from American Apparel, Eeeee Eee Eeee and Richard Yates by Tao Lin. These ‘novels’ are three of the most refreshing reads of the year. It like drinking water after drinking only Coke all year (wow, that metaphor sucks). It was actually a new experience.

Eeeee Eee Eeee is the oldest of the books. Didn’t like it very much, but it was a clever. I hate the chapters with the bears and dolphins coming out of nowhere a la surrealist non sequitor. I have read some books which have scenes like that, and although I do not particularly hate these kinds of sequences, I was just expecting something different. In this book Tao Lin talks about depression and boredom and hamsters, you know, the usual stuff.

Shopl ifting from American Apparel is a novella, and it is much more interesting than Eeeee Eee Eeee in a lot of ways. Shoplifting was written in a style that is almost journalistic and affectless as reading the news off a week-old pambalot ng tinapa; or, I guess you could say, in a flat, dead-pan manner. It is the literary equivalent of games that do not need you to play them, because they play themselves, or a song where no changes happen, just a repetition of sound. This novella is something like those things, because although it gives you a feeling that ‘something’s about to happen’, it really doesn’t give you anything, and you know it, BUT YOU READ ON. It’s basically like junk-food, substance-less, perhaps bad for the health, but we just eat and eat because something in it tells us so.

A lot of people in Goodreads actually complain about Tao Lin being substance-less and ‘vapid’, unlike Dostoyevsky, and such and such, but that is precisely what Tao seems to be aiming for. Of course, these are just interpretations, but these interpretations held out in Richard Yates, which people in 4chan and Reddit actually like. Richard Yates, like Shoplifting, consists of transcriptions of Gmail chat, texts, and short sentences which move the ‘narrative’ forward. Again, Tao Lin was faithful to his concept of writing process, because he knows that doing otherwise would result in a disappointingly sentimental plot.
