Today On Thought Catalog: It’s Tao Lin Day
Good morning Thought Catalog community! Today is Tao Lin Day on TC.
To mark the occasion of the release of his third novel Taipei, out today from Vintage, we’ll be posting, almost exclusively, content selected by long-time friend and contributor Tao Lin. We recommend his definitive essays on Koko, The “Talking” Gorilla and Almost Transparent Blue. You can read our exclusive excerpt of Taipei here.
This post will be updated with Tao’s content throughout the day, as it’s posted.
