If I am not mistaken, The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared was there with Stalin when this dynasty was established long ago. Part of the novel unfolds in Korea ... right?

That 100 year old man in the novel appeared here and there with some of the powerful men who presided over some of the grim history of the 20th Century. Perhaps, if he is still alive, he can return to some of these places which, again, if I am not mistaken, includes both Washington and Pyongyang.

Did he not also help develop "The Bomb" or am I getting novels mixed up?
