Narration As Books Just a Couple of Days

"Just a Couple of Days may be the most unusual, the most original novel I have ever read." —TOM ROBBINS

"A lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book. Read it!"
—CHRISTOPHER MOORE

Join cult favorite Tony Vigorito in his award-winning underground hit chronicling 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 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.

"Just a Couple of Days. From this seemingly harmless bit of highway graffiti springs Tony Vigorito's inventive debut novel, a madcap adventure of a sinister government plot and an apocalyptic vision worthy of Kurt Vonnegut... After being conscripted as the genetics expert for a secret military project, Dr. Flake Fountain, a molecular geneticist at a major university, is thrust into the (literally) underground development of a biological agent with the power to disable enemies’ symbolic capacity, leaving them unable to communicate. But Just a Couple of Days is no mere sci-fi daydream. Vigorito’s research is impressive, and the narrative pops with linguistic acrobatics reminiscent of Tom Robbins… Vigorito engages in consistently dazzling wordplay, and readers will eagerly follow the narrative as it moves beyond the conventional boundaries of storytelling… An underground cult classic." —Kirkus Reviews

Comment On Containing Books Just a Couple of Days

Over all I just didn't like this book. I really liked the general idea behind the book and a lot of the thoughts the author brought up I found to be fascinating. But I couldn't get over the author's sense of humor. It was obvious the author was trying to be funny, but for some reason I just wasn't amused, only annoyed. I'll admit that it's entirely possible that my opinion of the book was influenced by my mood while I was reading it. My dad died during the time that I was reading this

Some people play the lottery. Some people go to the casino. Some people bet on the horses. When I want to gamble, I go to Borders and walk around. I look at books all over the story. And then I gamble on a book I've never heard before. This time, I hit the jackpot. Vigorito's prose is lyrical, flowing and downright funny. I'm having a lot of fun reading this book while taking a break from the king-hell bummer that is Palast's book. A lot of the authors I read rarely do so well on a first novel.

This book is surreal and funny. The premise is a bit crazy, but I think most people would enjoy this read.

My favorite book ever! Seriously made me laugh aloud, while challenging my beliefs and making me a better person.

If you like analogies you'll love this book...If not STAY AWAY. Better yet STAY AWAY anyway. Sorry, if you liked this book but it did nothing for me.

I was introduced to this book in college when given the option of selling it back for full price if I was unimpressed. Not only did I keep a copy, but bought another for a friend. If you are looking for a fun quirky thought provoking book, and are interested in delving a little beyond the words on the page, then this is a unique find.

Started out good, but ended up being an incredible let down, I felt myself skipping through pages upon pages of artfully crafted yet extremely repetitive prose, making and re-making the same point over and over and over again to the point where I thought where was the editor of this book?Sad to say I didn't even care for the characters especially the look-how-free-spirited-we-are! couple, and the main character who I felt was way too passive. In the end there were some good ideas in this book,
