About Brevet Captain
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.

This is a great radio station through iTunes’ radio function. Fantastic selections of classical, romantic, baroque, and modern orchestral and chamber music. And it kills me because every 15 minutes or so, a French guy comes on and gives the news from France. And I have .01% of an idea what he’s talking about.
‘futball’ and ‘Parisienne’ and … Gawd. Five years of middle and high school French, a year of French for reading in grad school, and I can’t understand more than six words he says.
