Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
One will recall that Vitasta Raina designed the book cover and that International Authors published the book in Brookline, Massachusetts through the efforts of Carter Kaplan.

Caught in a moment of intrepid sitting, the tripper (Vitasta Raina) ponders her next move, while I (Gypsy Scholar, aka Horace Jeffery Hodges) am grateful for the brief respite.
For more on our writings, see Carter Kaplan's publications blog, specifically, the blog entry International Authors in Seoul.

Ever read those "Today in History" columns that purport to tell us what happened TODAY in HISTORY? They don't.

Sportswriter Jim Bulley informs us: "Hwang Hee-chan goes 22 games without a goal!" Bulley then helpfully adds: "The Bull" has lost his bite, but can he get it back again?"
One might well also wonder if "The Bull" has polished off any china closets lately . . .

Is a yawning gap always also a bored gap, or can it also sometimes be a tired gap?

My blog got spammed, and the price for getting it despammed was the loss of several blog entries. Sorry about that.

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."
