Just a Couple of Days

Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Visionary Fiction: ';A lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book' (Christopher Moore, author of Noir). It all starts when a mischievous artist kicks off a game of graffiti tag by painting the phrase, ';Uh-oh' on an overpass. Next, an anonymous interlocutor writes back: ';When?' Then someone slyly answers: ';Just a couple of days.' But exactly what will happen in just a couple of days? Readers don't have long to wait before Professor Blip Korterly is arrested and his molecular biologist friend Dr. Flake Fountain is drafted into a shadow-government research project to develop the ultimate weapon: a biological agent that will render its targets unable to understand symbols, thus disrupting humanity's ability to communicate. Soon, an accidental outbreak turns into a merry-hearted, babble-inducing apocalypse that will either destroy humankind or take it to the next step in evolution. Praised by Tom Robbins who said it ';may be the most unusual, the most original novel I have ever read,' Tony Vigorito's debut novel is an underground hit that ponders what might happen at the end of time. ';Vigorito's ... irreverent, whimsical style ... has attracted a cult following... The final apocalyptic vision is a twist not seen since Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Recommended.' Library Journal
