Review
"Just a Couple of Days is a most intriguing book; well-written and
daring. It's the kind of ground-breaking work we look for..." Independent Publisher
Review
"Tony Vigorito's brilliant novel is a Dr. Strangelove for the biotech
century, a witty and wise end-of-the-world romp that manages to be
optimistic even joyous yet cynically dystopian at the same time. Just a Couple of Days is savvy, wickedly funny, and profoundly disturbing. An absorbing, thought-provoking read." Richard Heinberg, author of Memories and Visions of Paradise
Review
"One is immediately impressed with the book.... Vigorito laces his
writing with a satirical touch, adding levity to the heady subject
matter." Columbus Alive
Review
"[An] unpredictably adventurous and singularly ambitious novel.
Especially recommended reading for anyone with a literary interest in
the surreal..." Wisconsin Bookwatch
Review
"[A] humorous apocalyptic novel...reminiscent of Tom Robbins...Vigorito
has a similar facility in putting together colorful and creative
metaphors. The pace is quick and engaging with occasional diversions
into deep philosophical thought...hilarious...a parody of society,
particularly the institutions of control...Just a Couple of Days
provokes thought and laughter and shows that freedom is, indeed, a
bigger game than power." Zenzibar Alternative Culture
Synopsis
You are cordially invited to the party at the end of time...
When a graffiti artist tags a local bridge with the enigmatic phrase,
"just a couple of days," an entire town is left wondering "till what?"
Not least of all is Dr. Flake Fountain, who suddenly finds himself
embroiled in a top secret plot to develop the ultimate biological
weapon. Along the way to a climax of madness and mirth, the hapless
Flake must figure out how to save the world not to mention his own
soul and he has just a couple of days left.
Fast becoming an underground classic, this relentless satire will take
you through the eye of a merry-hearted apocalypse and leave you laughing
and dancing on the other side.
