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."

Thanks for getting the word out.
Mr. Kostelanetz's book is amazing. I received a contributor's copy last week, and it is nearly impossible to put the book down. Readable, intelligent, insightful, comprehensive--it is precisely the sort of "guide" artists and writers should turn to when considering the historical and philosophical contexts in which we work. Critics and scholars, too, should regard it as a model (or a collection of models) demonstrating the possibilities for writing "usable" (if not dazzling) criticism.
Michael Butterworth will soon publish two new books through NULL23 in association with International Authors. Please click

Thanks.
Jeffery Hodges
