Five book covers are arranged in a row, each with a year printed below it from 2006 to 2009. The final cover reads “Shoplifting from American Apparel” by Tao Lin. The word “oeuvre” is written in large, black capital letters across the bottom.

If it’s even possible, I think Tao Lin’s writing is somewhere between fact and fiction. Written in an honest, no-frills fashion and covering intimate subjects and emotions which seem almost too believable to be true. When you read one of his books you quickly understand that you’re reading something unlike anything else you’ve read before. For that reason we’ve invited him to be a guest poster on the blog this week, kindly opening his bookmarks folder for our enjoyment.
