That's brilliant - it's obviously him! I knew loads of Asterisk characters were based a bit on him but that's perfect

Charles de Gaulle probably did earn the right to have a picture that goes this hard at top of the Google search but it goes exceptionally hard

Great poetry about the utter pointlessness and futility of war is out of style right now, Alice Oswald's Memorial reminds us that was what the Iliad tried to teach

77. Leonardo Sciascia, The Knight and Death
Three novellas, all beautifully written, set at the end of years of lead where corruption is everywhere in the Sicilian police, government and church. The initially upstanding narrators fading away is a great metaphor that maybe didn't need done each time

A bitty collection as there's wasn't any real theme beyond the police corruption building but it was mostly short tales making fun of whatever was current at the time and passed the time happily

The best of the this years fantasy novels have also been something else, here a Morse dynamic as an old woman trained in magic is called out of retirement by a lumbering assistant to find a missing child as malignant forces lurk in Tolkienia. Highly recommended

74. Yuri Herrera, Season of the Swamp
Future president Benito Juárez is a penniless exile in pre-civil war New Orleans and tries to negotiate this strange, malarial city riddled with deceit and incipient slave rebellion. Very done and has some visceral passages but I just couldn't connect with it

Britain (England) has been sold to a foreign tycoon who has turned it into a nature reserve, narrated by a standard Mills character, who doesn't know what's going on and who does a repetitive job with slightly more clued in colleagues - still kinda great

One of the short funny type of Nicola Barker novels I adore, set in a town in Kent with a teenage girl being horrible to her elders but it also has experimental jazz and internet snark and it made roar with laughter - a great introductory novel to England's best

71. Hajo Düchting, Wassily Kandinsky: A Revolution in Painting
A lovely biographical overview of one of great painters of the 20th century and the glossy large format lets you get a sense of the works although as most of them are in Moscow or New York it'll be a while before I get to see them
