Skyscrapers of the Midwest is a book about talking cats, and robots, and menacing squid-like creatures—it’s also one of the year’s most powerful and intensely person. For author Joshua Cotter, the creation of the book was as much an act of personal catharsis as anything else.
The personal touches that fill the story—ostensibly a memoir of a small boy growing up in a creatively stifling small town in the Midwest—along with Cotter’s extensive use of fantasy to help tackle some of the more personally difficult issues he takes on, help separate the book from the droves of coming of age stories that have popped up in the world of sequential art.
