I guess Tao Lin just seems like the type of writer that enjoys exploring different perspectives and realities. I enjoyed this interview because it gave me hope for things I have already written. The part of this interview where the Rumpus interviewer talked to Tao Lin about that Schopenhauer theory or whatever was excellent. So many times I've read things I used to write about and just wanted to vomit, set them on fire and punch myself in the face. Sometimes I probably should have done just that. Maybe not in that order. I guess though after reading this interview I can still use some of that older stuff to grow. Sounds like a Tao Lin's a great author!
