Rusty Brown (Pantheon Graphic Library)

The artwork in 'Rusty Brown' is so expressive and detailed—I'm curious what inspired the artistic choices and how they complement the narrative.

The stories about childhood and adolescence felt so personal and bittersweet. I wonder if the author drew from his own experiences or created these universes entirely from imagination.

The structure feels very deliberate and adds layers to the characters’ lives. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during the creative process.
