>Photo of me working on my novel, Leave Society, which is forthcoming from Vintage in 2020 or 2021. I’m finishing a first draft this month. Currently it has an epigraph from Kathleen Harrison (“Nothing is as it appears to be. This is not glib.”) and is ~81,000 words and in four parts (Year of Mercury, Year of Pain, Year of Mountains, Year of Detox) and thirty-six chapters (Surgery, Decay, Yoga, Dentists, Barcelona, Florida; Hand, Handsome, Taitung, Massage, Machines, Ninja, Ankylosing, Thyroid, Coleman, Blaming, Microfireflies; Anions, Mediating, Catatonia, Falling, Crestor Coffee Cake, Friendship, Flow State, Sao Mu, Momo, Resonance, Variations; Dudu, Race, Deterioration, Upset, Twitching, Curse, Dustwinkling, Fruitresting). The protagonist is named Li. The main characters are him and his parents.

Good to know he’s still living off his parent’s money and reading popsci/history/self-help books. trust no man who takes the Lishian MFA short story turn seriously.

Asians can't be fiction writers. It requires creativity and whites are the only creative race, which is why whites have invented everything and written all the good books.
Why have these nobodies suddenly become relevant in the past few days?

I received Sapiens as a gift and blazed through it in less than a week. It was engaging and, especially the first third, was very insightful. Yes, there is some materialist and relativist crap sprinkled in, but still a good book.
Owen Perez
From worshiping Mishima to Stormfront shills. How the mighty have fallen
Alexander Cook
A lot of writers were great artists while being brainlets. Dostoyevsky for example. Plus, there's nothing wrong with sapiens.
Chase Ramirez
Jesus Christ, reading that is an unmediated experience of entropy.

Imagine gloating over a jovian jenken-jarring junta's jocular joustings

Ayden Torres
Don't call me that
Christopher Garcia

Gavin Murphy
Just facts, bros. People are different and have different nature's and aptitudes, this is simply common sense.
Colton Howard
take your eristic "arguing" elsewhere, stain
Chase Jenkins
>every group is equally capable despite evolving separately for millennia and clearly exhibiting different aptitudes
Imagine believing this in 2019.
Josiah Murphy
imagine needing to put words in other people's mouths to "win" pointless internet "debates"
Nicholas Powell
What a waste of a response you insipid queer. Try to be the least bit amusing next time.
Evan Scott
what's MFA?
Carson Hernandez
>MFA In America, it's a Masters in Food Artisanry, a requirement for all fast food workers
Ian Morales
haha, very amusing
Christopher Anderson
How long have you been using Yea Forums? Masters of Fine Arts, a graduate degree
Brody Nelson
i got halfway through taipei and dropped it because the prose felt like a stream of consciousness stroke
Hudson Hall
I liked taipei because its a book about nothing
Jeremiah Murphy
That's the appeal
Samuel Cooper
I wonder how long he sits like that and writes. I'm struggling with a comfortable position due to strange neck issues, and I'm gonna try that out.
Easton Gutierrez
Inspiration incoming
Parker Wright
excited for you, user. i'll publish it in my next book if it's any good
Is Tao Lin trying to become the American Houllebecq? His most recent book, as well as this upcoming one, make me think so, and there's always been a bit of a Houllebecq-esque strain to him.
