Book Overview

Join cult favorite Tony Vigorito in his acclaimed, surreal whirlwind of a novel exploring chaos theory. A prisoner spins a playing card into a somersault, stirring a wind that becomes a tornado that takes off the roof of a church in nearby Normal, Illinois. Elizabeth Wildhack is born in that church and someday she will meet that prisoner, a man named Diablo, on the streets of New Orleans--where a hurricane-like Great White Spot hovers off the coast. But how is it all interconnected? And what does it have to do with a time-traveling serf and a secret society whose motto is "Walk away?"

"Linguistic gymnastics abound... Vigorito demonstrates once again that he's a wild stylist... startlingly original... an entertaining anarchist..." --The Chicago Sun-Times

Do you believe in synchronicity?

Can one breath of wind change many lives across space and time?

A prisoner spins a playing card into a somersault, stirring a wind that becomes a tornado that takes off the roof of a church in nearby Normal, Illinois. Elizabeth Wildhack is born in that church and someday she will meet that prisoner, a man named Diablo, on the streets of New Orleans where a hurricane-like Great White Spot hovers off the coast. But how is it all interconnected? And what does it have to do with a time-traveling serf and a secret society whose motto is "Walk away"?

""Nine Kinds of Naked" is innocent, whimsical, sometimes silly even, but filled with the freshness and the freewheeling independence that made Vigorito s reputation." -- Kris Saknussemm, author of "Zanesville

"

"A wildly spinning tornado of beautiful fresh air." -Chris Genoa, author of "Foop!"

Praise for "Just a Couple of Days"

""Just a Couple of Days "is a lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book. Read it!"-- Christopher Moore, author of "You Suck
