About Brevet Captain

Untitled
I am a reader and writer who appreciates the comedy and decency of dogs, the subtleties of whiskey, and the pure beauty of a pulling guard in the open field.

Writers whose works I love: Neal Stephenson, Thomas Pynchon, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, Herman Melville, Ishmael Reed, Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Feodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and James Joyce.

Murakami, continued

And still sludging through 1Q84. I like the writing, but what a doorstop this thing is. I feel like I am getting way less a return on my time than with other megafiction like Infinite Jest or Mason & Dixon. Still, I do want to see it through. Then on to William Gibson.
