Trip by Tao Lin
A spare, deadpan novel follows a young writer’s descent into a prolonged, drug-induced altered state after starting a prescribed antidepressant; through clipped, observational prose it traces his growing disconnection from work, friends, and a long-term partner as he navigates medical visits, insomnia, internet culture, and increasingly surreal perceptions of self, memory, and mortality. Mixing dark humor with clinical detail, the narrative examines modern loneliness, the promises and limits of pharmaceuticals, and how technology shapes intimacy and identity.
