True Cyber Crime (derivative of True Crime genre) arose in the 1980s with Cliff Stoll’s The Cuckoo Egg.

This is noteworthy as the modern novelistic form of True Crime genre arose only in the 1960s. There are influential predecessors, of course.

Phuc Tran does an amazing job in the prologue to “Sigh, Gone” (Prologue is entitled The Picture of Dorian Gray) in extending the themes of identify and allusion to the admittance of another Vietnamese refugee in his small-town.

After years, of dire-less attempts at American assimilation, the presence of Hoang Nyguyen (new refugee) takes on the fun-house mirror reflection of everything Phuc Tran attempted to discard in building new identify; thus the new student reflects the underlying (self-perceived) ugliness of his soul as a refugee.

> Hoàng was a fun-house mirror’s rippling reflection of me, warped and wobbly. I was Dorian Gray beholding his grotesque portrait in the attic, and I was filled with loathing. My disgust for Hoàng was complicated and simple at the same time: I was the Vietnamese kid at Carlisle Senior High School. Just me. Fuck that new Vietnamese kid.

> When Dorian Gray beholds his portrait in the attic and shows his friend Basil the horror of the painting, Basil is sickened. The portrait reflects the rot of Dorian’s soul, and it repels Basil just as I was repulsed by Hoàng.

More evidence is great. However, this is already a known clinical phenomenon.

From a 2018 Biochemistry textbook:

>Lipoprotein lipase, particularly in adipose tissue, acts upon chylomicron lipids and may result in a fraction of the vitamin D being taken up by fat cells. This observation suggests a mechanism whereby increased adiposity causes sequestering of vitamin D and is related to lower vitamin D status (IOM, 2011). Indeed, adipose tissue sequestration of vitamin D represents a nonspecific process, and these stores may not be actively used in periods of need (IOM, 2011). Thus obese individuals may require higher intakes of vitaminD to achieve serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) comparable tothose observed among lean individuals (IOM, 2011).
