I am not sure what to make of it, but today a friend informed me that a new book is listed on Amazon.com that includes me as its subject.
The title of the book is:
“South Korean Educators: Ahn Cheol-Soo, Kim Jong-Il, Chang Young Hee, Kim Ho Jik, Emanuel Pastreich, Tai-Young Kim”
It would be an honor to be included alongside Ahn Cheol-Soo of KAIST (soon to be at SNU AICT). I do not know Kim Jong-il. I assume it is a different person as the Kim Jong Il I am most familiar with is neither South Korean nor an educator.
