Justin Maurer, reading “Mexico City,” from his book “Seventeen Television” at Down N Sound Lit Fest I, Los Angeles @ Last Bookstore:

“Justin Maurer’s stories are filled with humor, horror and human insight. A strong new voice.”
– Dan Fante

“Clean and pure sentences written by an unclean and impure man. You can laugh and feel joy reading these stories. Go ahead. It’s okay.”
– Scott McClanahan

“Justin Maurer’s Seventeen Television is filled with profound and high-octane moments written with a heart-on-his-sleeve sincerity.”
– Chloe Caldwell

“Maurer sculpts very rich characters and depicts absurd situations in hysterical terms. An extremely clever and sincere writer.”
– MaximumRocknRoll

“Justin Maurer has a real gift for storytelling…an expertly conversational feel.”
– The Portland Mercury

“Stuff like Justin’s turning up once every few blue moons is like a little reassuring pat on the back that says there are actually people out there who can still write great short fiction.”
– Vice UK
