Isaac Fitzgerald bio ↓  ·  March 17th, 2010  ·  filed under books

“Why do Tao’s negative book reviews seem to always cite as evidence Tao’s gimmickry?”

Brandon Scott Gorrell, author of During My Nervous Breakdown I Want to Have a Biographer Present, has posted a review concerning negative reviews of Tao Lin‘s Shoplifting From American Apparel.

Update: An interesting argument has broken out in the piece’s comments section about book reviews and reviews in general (it somewhat mirrors a similar debate we had here).
