      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

      Join cult favorite Tony Vigorito in this award-winning underground hit chronicling the party at the end of time. A mischievous artist ignites a game of graffiti tag on a local overpass with the phrase, “Uh-oh.” An anonymous response asks, “When?” and someone replies, “Just a couple of days.” But what unfolds in those days? Professor Blip Korterly is arrested, while his friend Dr. Flake Fountain is drafted into a shadow-government project to create the ultimate biological weapon. An accidental outbreak leads to a merry-hearted, babble-inducing apocalypse that could either destroy humanity or elevate it to a new evolutionary stage. From this seemingly harmless graffiti emerges Vigorito's inventive debut, a madcap adventure involving a sinister government plot and an apocalyptic vision. Dr. Flake Fountain, a molecular geneticist, is thrust into the underground development of a biological agent designed to disable enemies' symbolic capacity, rendering them unable to communicate. Yet, this is no mere sci-fi daydream; Vigorito’s impressive research and dazzling wordplay engage readers, pushing the narrative beyond conventional storytelling. This book has become an underground cult classic, celebrated for its linguistic acrobatics and inventive plot.
