β¦ Synopsis
Tao Lin gives a bold portrait of a writer working to balance all his livesβartist, son, lonerβas he spins the ordinary into something monumental. Leave Society is an engrossing, hopeful novel about life, fiction, and where the two blur together.
In 2014, a novelist named Li leaves Manhattan to visit his parents in Taipei for ten weeks. He doesnβt know it yet, but his life will begin to deepen and complexify on this trip. As he flies between these two worldsβyear by year, over four yearsβhe will flit in and out of optimism, despair, loneliness, sanity, bouts of chronic pain, and drafts of a new book. He will incite and temper arguments, uncover secrets about nature and history, and try to understand how to live a meaningful life as an artist and a son. But how to fit these pieces of his life together? Where to begin? Or should he leave society altogether?
Exploring everyday events and scenesβwaiting rooms, dog walks, family mealsβwhile investigatively venturing to the edges of society, where culture dissolves into mystery, Lin shows what it is to write a novel in real time. Illuminating and deeply felt, as it builds toward a stunning, if unexpected, romance, Leave Society is a masterly story about life and art at the end of history.
