Jonathan Yardley

I'm behind the times.  After reading this short, delightful interview of "Cleopatra and Antony," I decided to learn more about its author, Jonathan Yardley.  Unfortunately, it appears I missed the boat; Yardley retired from the Washington Post Book Review a few years ago.  On a side note, Yardley once received a Pulitzer Prize for his works in criticism, and he's credited with having dealt Michael Chabon a favorable hand early in Chabon's career.  But my favorite bit about Yardley?  He's a huge fan of Horatio Hornblower.
