Abstract
We show that one can construct D-branes in parafermionic and WZW theories ( and their orbifolds) which have very natural geometrical interpretations, a nd yet are not automatically included in the standard Cardy construction of D-branes in rational conformal field theory. The relation between these th eories and their T-dual description leads to an analogy between these D-bra nes and the familiar A-branes and B-branes of N = 2 theories.
