well, today is Thursday, and I'm inclined to dispute you - you're not
wrong to see the
particulars as important and focus in on the author 'n' title.
Picturing the crew and the dog reading was enough for me yesterday,
but today I'm insisting
on the meaningfulness of detail.  Unfortunately I've not yet read PC,
but from skimmage
I've got a notion it's compassionate, perceptive and ultimately
disapproving of anarchism.
And in the hands of one of the "dogs of war" how appropriate: who
would want to leave
the unleashing of Pugnax to random factors rather than a clear chain of command?
