Title
Just a Couple of Days - Paperback
by Tony Vigorito (Author)
Blip Korterly kicks off a game of graffiti tag on a local overpass by painting a simple phrase: "Uh-oh." An anonymous interlocutor writes back: "When?" Blip slyly answers: "Just a couple of days." But what happens in just a couple of days? Blip is arrested; his friend, Dr. Flake Fountain--a molecular biologist--is drafted into a shadow-government research project conducting experiments on humans. The virus being tested--cleverly called "the Pied Piper"--renders its victims incapable of symbolic capacity; that is, incapable of communication. Is this biological weaponry? What would happen if it were let loose on the world? Does a babbling populace pose a threat or provide an opportunity for social evolution?
This novel's absurd, larger-than-life characters speak in exuberant prose that is as satirical as it is playful, as full of implications as it is full of mirth. It's no wonder Just a Couple of Days has become an underground cult classic. This grassroots phenomenon will reach even more soon-to-be fans in its newly updated Harvest edition-- complete with an excerpt from the author's next book!Back Jacket
WELCOME TO THE PARTY AT THE END OF TIME!
A mischievous artist kicks off a game of graffiti tag on a local overpass by painting the simple phrase "Uh-oh." An anonymous interlocutor writes back: "When?" Someone slyly answers: "Just a couple of days." But what happens in just a couple of days? Professor Blip Korterly is arrested; his friend, Dr. Flake Fountain is drafted into a shadow-government research project to develop the ultimate biological weapon, and a bit of a leak turns into a merry-hearted, babble-inducing apocalypse that will either destroy humankind or take it to the next step in evolution.
FROM DEVOTED FANS OF JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS
It rocked my boat, tickled my fancy, jabbered my wocky (?!) I find myself looking not only at America, but the whole universe in a new and exciting way. Sublime. A wake-up call to society. Mind-expanding. Magical. I'm still smiling--it made me feel better about humanity, just knowing that there might be a little hope, and that it can start with me. Sparks contagious laughs. Transcendent. Visionary. Full of laughter, song and dance, fun and love... Cosmic, and profoundly optimistic. A consciousness-expanding, life-changing experience. Dancing, laughter, the spiritual life of dinner plates. If the end of the world (really, the beginning) is anything AT ALL like Mr. Vigorito imagines it to be, I can't wait for it to come. Read it and dance...
