Synopsis
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'Äîa molecular biologist'Äîis drafted into a shadow-government research project conducting experiments on humans. The virus being tested'Äîcleverly called "the Pied Piper"'Äîrenders 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?This novel'Äôs 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'Äôs no wonder Just a Couple of Days has become an underground cult classic.
