Synopsis

The Theology of Lust follows Ricky “Pork Chop” White — a wounded, self-mythologizing erotic savant — as he stumbles through desire, regret, and violent entanglements, trying to turn raw masculinity into something redemptive. It’s a darkly funny, psychologically unfiltered journey where erotic obsession, betrayal, and a lurking murder plot converge on one man’s desperate attempt to find some sort of salvation out of the mess he calls a life.

It’s for readers who crave fiction that refuses to behave — those who want something too intense for “new sincerity,” too erotic for autofiction, and too unapologetically masculine for contemporary taste. In short: anyone drawn to provocative, high-voltage literary work, something savored, that isn’t afraid to offend, unsettle, or leave a mark.

À propos de l?auteur

Ralph Vince is a Charles H. Dow Award winner. He has worked for fund managers, sovereign wealth funds and family offices around the world since the early 1980s. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Market Technician's Association of New York, and has written numerous books published by John Wiley & Sons as well as professional papers on financial as well as general mathematics and statistics. His work was featured in a chapter of the Edwards & Magee classic, Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, regarded as the bible of Technical Analysis, and is one of the very few additions since the original publication in 1948. He was one of the early pioneers of 3-dimensional CAD systems, natural language processing systems, and was an integral part of the team that created the original Reinberger Hall of Earth & Planetary Exploration at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Ralph Vince's allocation algorithms have been licensed by Dow Jones Indexes. He has been invited to give colloquiums on his ideas at such esteemed institutions as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The London Chamber of Commerce, and delivered papers at the World Finance Conference, to name a few. Ralph Vince's books and peer-reviewed academic papers on mathematics - often co-authored with the top minds in the field of mathematics - appear in such publications as Mathematics, as well as The Journal of Investment Strategies and The Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics. His academic writings are among the top 1/2 of 1% of the most read research of all academic writings across all disciplines. Among his most notable and heterodox academic contributions are: - A means of cryptography spawned by the modular nature of the lemniscate (infinity symbol ∞ ) that is impervious to quantum computer attacks and serves as the basis of a proposed blockchain, wallet, and cryptocurrency, the "Lemnicoin Ecosystem." - The notion that "expectation," the probability-weighted mean outcome, accepted as "expectation" since the 18th century, is asymptotic to the "actual" expectation of median-sorted outcomes. - Functions of geometric growth optimization can be "inverted," and thus used as a tool to diminish malevolent geometric growth functions (e.g., national aggregate debt, growth of infected cells in an organism, or infected individuals in a population) entirely mathematically, and therefore, in politically-agnostic manners. ...among other novel ideas.
