Back at work on Monday. My entire body aches cause I think Conor Kiley broke my knee sometime Saturday night in Seattle. It might have been Andy Crane though while listening to The Rickets LP drinking “Crane’s Wish”, his homemade Bainbridge Island apple hard cider. Thanks to everyone who came to the readings and shows in Portland and Seattle. Colin Sanders lost his phone and Clayton Silva lost some weight and I lost my 2009 Hyundai Accent and the Seahawks lost too, but besides that Clorox Girls and “Seventeen Television” readings went off fabulously. I sold out of books in Seattle but if you would like one, please email me, I’ll make another run of books this week. Also let us know if you want a Clorox Girls t-shirt, cassette, or 7″ or Defenders 7″.. we have a few copies left. Thanks to Christopher Michael, Tim & Mark Janchar, Doug at Slabtown Portland, Cometta Vern and Beau Slipitin Saperstein plus all of the people and bands. Love you guys. XO
“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.”
