I read this from a link in the granta newsletter yesterday I forgot I subscribed to cuz i only recognized your name and renata adler. I thought about it all day, and I hope to have a friendship like that
Read again this morning in tandem with the “Andrew:” series. U are a beautiful spirit Tao Lin. I wish you were my friend. You remind me of an Egyptian mmorpg addict I knew for many years who was so staunchly himself that watching his body, the way it moved, the awkward looseness with which his arms would flail, could transfix a person, it could confound them, it could enchant them. I am so sorry about your friend Gian. It’s a very empathetic piece you’ve put together here
So beautiful
