How did u get into alt lit?

someone mentioned tao lin as an author they like to me
i googled and found his website

like a week later i read thoughtcatalog.com/2011/how-to-give-a-reading-on-mushrooms/ on the tail end of an lsd trip and i felt like tao lin 'clicked' for me. ive been v interested in the scene since

There's this Russian absurdist writer, Daniil Kharms, whose work I got really into.

One day I Googled "like Danill Kharms."

Found a blog post by some author who wrote that Sam Pink is "like Daniil Kharms."

I think Amazon told me to buy stuff by Noah Cicero after I bought Sam Pink's "Person."

I got really excited about this stuff. It reminded me of the writing style I use to write emails for my day job being used to write fiction. It had been like seven years since I gave up writing fiction. Now I'm halfway through the 2nd draft of a novel.

The only thing I've read by Tao Lin is Eeeee Eee Eeee. It was ok.

Pretty sure now Crispin Best's stuff is more like Daniil Kharms than Sam Pink's stuff.

someone on Tumblr linked to a poem by steve roggenbuck and i loved all the stuff he does. i'm still getting into alt lit though. joining this forum is part of that
