Mark Alpert discusses ‘Final Theory’ at UK …
Final Theory is one of those novels that debuted under the radar and then caught a cult-like following of people who rave that it’s one of those books — the late and lamented Common Reader catalog used to call them “read-read” books that readers measure by the number of spellbound days it took them to finish it. (It’s generally two or fewer, just so you know.)
It’s about — wait for it — the notion of hiddey poetry within the equations of physicists. And it’s a thriller. A University of Kentucky press release says it “traces Albert Einstein’s Unified Field Theory through scientific ideas intertwined with FBI gun battles, car chases and a race to stop an experiment that would doom the world.”
Author Mark Alpert will speak at UK’s White Hall Classroom Building on Monday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. The event is free, open to the public, and presented by UK’s Gaines center for the Humanities.
