{"product_id":"just-a-couple-of-days-tony-vigorito-9780156031226","title":"Just a Couple of Days","description":"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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Vigorito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156031221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156031226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.36w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2007 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2007 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2007 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2007","brand":"Tony Vigorito","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994748125439,"sku":"9780156031226","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8049f1ca-c01a-4e6f-973a-abddd83f0303.jpg?v=1683331955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-a-couple-of-days-tony-vigorito-9780156031226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
