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?This
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.
