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… (more)

Epigraph
"Something unknown is doing we don't know what." -- Sir Arthur Eddington
if somebody
or you are beautiful or
deep or generous what
i say is

whistle that
sing that yell that spell
-- e.e. cummings
Dedication
For my family.
First words
The morning the Day-Glo orange Frisbee came whizzing out of the eye of the storm was the morning a runaway serf dared a dreamer to untie the fourth and final knot on a ratty strip of leather.
Quotations
"The entire universe presents itself to everyone always. Absent distraction by categories, expectations, and the definitions of others, every bit of information you require is at hand." Billy paused. "You are infinitely more powerful when you realize that you are indistinct from the rest of the universe."
"Creation is God's multiple personality, the many faces of Eve, so to speak. Life is the unfolding drama of those personalities engaging one another, most of them unaware that they're merely shadows cast from the Tree of Life."
