Download or read book Just a Couple of Days written by Tony Vigorito and published by HMH. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Visionary Fiction: “A lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book” (Christopher Moore, author of Noir). It all starts when a mischievous artist kicks off a game of graffiti tag by painting the phrase, “Uh-oh” on an overpass. Next, an anonymous interlocutor writes back: “When?” Then someone slyly answers: “Just a couple of days.” But exactly what will happen in just a couple of days? Readers don’t have long to wait before Professor Blip Korterly is arrested and his molecular biologist friend Dr. Flake Fountain is drafted into a shadow-government research project to develop the ultimate weapon: a biological agent that will render its targets unable to understand symbols, thus disrupting humanity’s ability to communicate. Soon, 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. Praised by Tom Robbins who said it “may be the most unusual, the most original novel I have ever read,” Tony Vigorito’s debut novel is an underground hit that ponders what might happen at the end of time. “Vigorito’s . . . irreverent, whimsical style . . . has attracted a cult following... The final apocalyptic vision is a twist not seen since Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle. Recommended.” —Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Savannah, Georgia, in 1969, segregation was coming to an end. Butternut chocolate bars was the number one candy. The Ford Falcon was a family car. Neighbors were really neighbors. Children stayed in a child's place. School bullies took the weaker kids' lunch money and beat them up, but often, the bully and the bullied became best friends. God was the focal point of everything in 1969. O Happy Day! follows its hero, Zeric Washington, a nine-year-old African American. Zeric is not the traditional hero. He's not strong and unusually brave. He's not the stud of all boys. He's often called "sissy." He's often picked on. He's often threatened because he is different. God has smiled on him though. Through his unexpected anointing, he changes the heart of a bully. He restores his parents' disintegrating marriage. He brings a playboy producer closer to God. Through his lovely singing voice, which was the reason he was picked on and bullied, he is taken to unforeseen adventures and lives change along the way. First-time love, brotherly love, fear of the unknown, the pain a child feels when a parent is caught cheating, the tragic demise of a onetime-enemy-turned great friend-all and much more are examined through the eyes of a nine-year-old innocent chosen-by-God in O Happy Day!
