Nathaniel Russell

Dave Eggers 'The Captain and the Glory', illustrated by Nathaniel Russell is the perfect metaphorical story for the madness on either side of the Atlantic in 2020. Dave Eggers who I have revered for his 862 Valentia initiative, has created a fantastically funny but equally horrifying rendition of our current reality, a book to read and heed and Nathaniel's illustrations just perfect to accompany the insanity of our political times.
