      That's a Nietzsche quote about Ralph Waldo Emerson.

      @@dorejo96 That's a homoerotic chat-up line... I hear it worked.

    My impression of Lin changed dramatically when I read Leave Society. If you’ve dismissed him, go try that one before you write him off entirely!

    A successful blending of the pothead and wino styles of giving an interview.

    I think he's one of the most interesting and unique writers of the millennial generation. I assume many of the folks who view his work as bland and distasteful, fundamentally misunderstand our generation. He captures the millennial experience as well or better than anyone. Not saying he's the best writer of this generation (although I'm personally a big fan) but he's undoubtedly one of the most original.

      I think you mean they understand us too well.

    Being a millennial, I don't know if there's a writer I identify more with than Lin. The hate he gets is interesting. Many visionaries are often disregarded. He's definitely wields a lot of influence modern fiction. How important he is will be decided by time.

    • @melissafrank7739
      @melissafrank7739 Před 2 lety

      "the hate he gets is interesting" He gets hate because he was in a relationship with a 16 year old when he was in his 20s and used to force that person to driving him places so he, an adult, could shoplift. he's an abusive creep and a lazy bum.
