A favorite of readers in Seattle, in particular, but also elsewhere, Tao Lin makes this welcome Elliott Bay return to read from his newest work, Richard Yates (Melville House). Yes, it's fiction, and "Richard Yates" is named after the late writer—but isn't about him. "Richard Yates is hilarious, menacing, and hugely intelligent. Tao Lin is a Kafka for the iPhone generation. He has that most important gift: it's impossible to imagine anyone else writing like he does and sounding authentic. Yet he has already spawned a huge school of Lin imitators. As precocious and prolific as he is, every book surpasses the last. Tao Lin may well be the most important writer under thirty working today." - Clancy Martin. Tao Lin's other books include you are a little bit happier than i am, Eeeee Eee Eeee & Bed, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Shoplifting from American Apparel.
