Description
Set in a Midwestern town rendered with extraordinary detail, this intricately constructed graphic novel follows a group of interconnected characters whose lives brush against one another through school, work, family, and memory. At its center is Rusty Brown, a withdrawn, imaginative figure whose everyday experiences open onto stories of childhood longing, adult disappointment, awkward desire, and the search for connection. Moving fluidly across time and perspective, the book explores loneliness, identity, regret, and the private fantasies people use to endure ordinary life. Its dense visual design, dark humor, and formally inventive storytelling create a poignant and unsettling portrait of human isolation.
