Ralph Vince’s latest, from Larry Williams

Ralph Vince's newest book. Not about the markets.

The Theology of Lust

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.

Asindu Drileba writes:

Nice! I remember Ralph Vince mentioned that one of his favourite books was The Bible. There is a strange relationship between speculation, theology & computers(artificial intelligence) that no one has comprehensively talk about. Hopefully, I will learn more about theology from this book.

Peter Ringel comments:

When I read the senator writing "the greatest project of his life", I immediately feared, that he fell victim to French, Spanish or Portuguese girls. The title seems to confirm this.

Larry Williams responds:

Good guess but not quite Ralph has a new steal proof coin coming out the book is a year old but was just translated to English from French.

Steve Ellison recalls:

We had a long-ago list member who would frequently draw parallels between never-ending market arguments such as fundamental vs. technical analysis and the European religious wars of the 1600s or theological debates such as predestination vs. free will.
