Críticas
"Like a technologically savvy modern-day Rabelais, Vigorito gives humanity a swift, playful, and long overdue slap on the ass."--Chris Genoa "author of Foop! " "This novel is "folk heroic" and should be read by anyone who still values their capacity to think for themselves."--Kris Saknussemm "author of Zanesville " "Irreverent, whimsical. The final apocalyptic vision is a twist not seen since Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Recommended."--Library Journal "Just a Couple of Days is a lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book. Read it!"--Christopher Moore "author of You Suck " PRAISE FOR JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS "Just a Couple of Days may be the most unusual, the most original novel I have ever read. It reminds me of my own first novel, Another Roadside Attraction, in that it almost completely defies what we've been taught that a novel ought to be... If philosophical ideas were harpoons, Tony Vigorito could turn every whale in Ahab's ocean into floating pincushions..." --Tom Robbins "A lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book. Read it!"--CHRISTOPHER MOORE, author of LAMB and A DIRTY JOB "This is the kind of literary enjoyment so many people say you shouldn't have, and then worry about when you start to draw larger conclusions from . . . I'd go so far as to say that this novel is 'folk heroic' and should be read by anyone who still values their capacity to think for themselves."--KRIS SAKNUSSEMM, author of ZANESVILLE "A Dr. Strangelove for the biotech century. Just a Couple of Days is savvy, wickedly funny, and profoundly disturbing. " --Richard Heinberg "author of Powerdown "
Reseña del editor
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.
