Justin Greak liked Shayne Liu's review of Augustin Station: "Reading this book feels like a deeply intimate, harrowing walk down memory lane, a journey that is the most painful, helpless, and isolating for the queer community. Greak captures Owen’s paralyzing fear of his own desire with a devastating, microsco" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Justin Greak (?)

“I grieve for the time we both lost, the versions of ourselves that never had room to exist. But I’m learning not to live inside that grief. There’s no neat lesson at the end of all this. Just a slow realization that I can’t reclaim those years, and that’s all right. Life isn’t something to be recast or repaired. It’s a series of drafts, each one a little better written than the last”
― Justin Greak, Augustin Station

“But then Simon is in his car with his best friend. His voice shakes as he says the words. Just two of them: "I'm gay." And suddenly I'm crying. Silent tears at first, then deeper, body-shaking sobs that I try to muffle with my hand. I’m taken aback by this reaction, aware of the ridiculousness of it, and yet it flows out of me, a faucet turned full on, and the handle’s broken off. The man next to me pretends not to notice, angling himself away to give me privacy. I'm crying for the teenager I never got to be. For the boys I never dated. For the college years I wasted, watching others discover themselves while I hid myself deeper and deeper. For every moment I chose safety over truth. I’m crying for all those pivotal experiences I'll never have. First kisses that matter, awkward dates, figuring out who I am when I'm still young enough for it not to matter so much.”
― Justin Greak, Augustin Station
