Tao Lin rumors

I have heard all kinds of funny rumors circulating about Tao Lin. Most recently a friend of mine told me that he heard that Tao doesn't exist, that he's made up by some woman. Or are they confusing Tao with that guy who wrote stories about being a teenage prostitute? Bottom line is that you should buy the book - www.actionbooks.org.

There have actually been rumors that Tao Lin and Ray Hsu were the same person. Of course, Ray Hsu is the cuter one.

An overlap with the Kent Johnson/Araki Yasusada hype to promote that book couldn't hurt to have the attention of the MLA. We love personality.
