Product Description

Review

"Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass--from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious."
--Miranda July, author of "No One Belongs Here More Than You"


Product Description

A startlingly original voice announces itself in these award-winning stories. College students, recent graduates and their parents work at Denny's, volunteer at a library in suburban Florida, attend satanic ska/punk concerts, eat Chinese food with the homeless and visit the same Japanese restaurant in Manhattan thrice in two sleepless days, all while yearning for love, a better kind of love, or something better than love, things which - much like the Loch Ness monster - they know probably do not exist but are rumored to exist and therefore ""good enough"".

5.0 out of 5 stars I dont know why its good but it is, 29 Oct 2009
By L. King "elvis" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book, i think. I keep telling friends to read it and recommending it all over the place but I cant really get a reason why pinned down. All I can think to say is that it made me laugh and put me in a really desperate mood at the same time. Also three weeks after reading it I still catch myself thinking about the characters and their stories which can only be a good thing right? Part of me thinks 30 might be the age limit for this book as I should hope by that age id come to terms with a lot of the things that bother me in the world and this book might seem a bit pointless but if your still young enough to enjoy pondering the important things in life then this book should get you started. I really enjoy his style of writing. It feels like you are getting uncensored acess to the characters as Tao doesnt just write their line of thought he writes every single felleting thought which reveals a lot more. its kind on meaningless and deep at the same time.
