Richard Yates by Tao Lin

TITLE: Richard Yates
AUTHOR: Tao Lin
READ: July
THOUGHTS: Wanted to give another Lin book a try, was only interested in this for about 2/5 of the book. Something about it still makes me think that I 'liked' it. I don't want to be as cliche as to suggest that because the plot is incredibly meandering/aimless that this is a 'lazy' book, but I feel like Lin's writing is capable of a stronger story/novel. A lot of the 'issues' in the book seemed surprisingly Degrassi-esque, though I don't think that the actual problems are the central focus of the text. I am looking forward to the new one. Plot can be good too yes.
