Synopsis

Chaos theory says that a tiny, almost imperceptible event can have large, even catastrophic coincidences: a butterfly flapping its wings in North America leads to a hurricane on another continent, for example. In this fictional take on chaos theory, several offbeat characters are linked by a single event that expands through time, sweeping them up in it and changing their lives. A traveler works a nifty trick with a playing card, and a tornado strikes a small Illinois town; a woman is born during the tornado and later meets the man who set it in motion; 1,200 years earlier, a man who is supposed to be stoned to death discovers he has an uncanny knack for surviving; and, back in the present day, another man speaks only in the present tense. Comparisons of this novel to the works of Tom Robbins are both obvious and appropriate: the story meanders around in an entertaining manner, never getting too serious about itself; the characters are splendidly loopy, close to caricature but never quite reaching it, and the situations in which they find themselves are comic, dramatic, and everything in between.

The style of Vigorito's writing quite simply brings a smile to my face. Literally. I'm sitting here reading, fluctuating between wearing a goofy grin or a smirk :D ;-) His philosophical banter is endlessly amusing and hits its mark. Characters are real and quirky. (Aren't many of the most realistic......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on March 04, 2014

A satisfying heaping of philosophy, some human spirit, a dash of magic, a good portion of adventure, and a coating of humor make Nine Kinds of Naked a “feel good” book; the kind of book you take to a cafe on a snowy day, just for the nostalgia of snowy-day-book-reading. Tony Vigorito has a talent fo......more
