53. Tao Lin's Nini: Feline Autism, Ensoulment, and Self-Healing

Update: 2025-09-02

Share

Description

In a new Harper's piece, Tao Lin traces his recent interests in autism, spirituality, and self-healing to his 4-year relationship with a special-needs cat, Nini, whose ailments and special charm adumbrate the fullness of the human experience--in this world and beyond.

This week's podcast translates Lin's must-read essay into language worthy of its subject.

This podcast is a presentation of The Meow Library.

Tao Lin's art, writing, and reading lists are continually archived on his website.
