Product Description
Do you believe in synchronicity? Can one breath of wind change many lives across space and time? 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"?

NKN worthy of ingestion and reflection

Comment:
I DEVOURED NKN, relishing hearty morsels of ecstatic suspense and confetti explosions of hilarity. I couldn't help finding myself spackling the walls with cackles as I read the famous last two words of the orgasmic child bearing Bridget Snapdragon as she stunned the occupants of a tornado taunted church.
Most delicious of all, in turning over the last pages, was Vigorito's ability to leave me with a sensation of overwhelming giddy expansion as I pondered my place in the universe. It occurred to me that perhaps in this involved world of synchronized chance(s), WE might just collectively wake up, evolve and realize that the whole is much much more gracious than the sum of its parts.

Comment:
I thought this was a great book all around. There were about 40 pages in the early middle of the book that I got a tiny less interested- but then got sucked back into the action. I was laughing at loud at times, and at others put the book down to digest a beautifully written passage. When I finished the book I had recieved a dose of good perspective and was left feeling better about life. With an exclamation point!

Comment:
i think a lot of the author's friends wrote reviews for this book. anyway, the book had me laughing a bit, but i could not keep up with the story all that well. i found just a couple of days to be much better. maybe nkon was not so good because the author wrote it while living in that pretentious want-a-be town of austin.

Stunningly refreshing and insightful

Comment:
If Vigoritorianism were a religion, it might be my chosen religion of the day! And I am far from a religious person! Nine Kinds of Naked is an adventure beneath the shadows of thought where most of us spend the majority, if not all, of our time; a penetration of the truths hiding seemingly secret behind the guy you keep seeing hitchiking down the same road; an exposure of the synchronicity which is ever-present but stifled by the illusion of who think we are; and it is also just an absolute kick in the a** to read! It is refreshing to know that somebody has stepped up to the plate to write like Tom Robbins, besides Christopher Moore (no disrespect to others, most of whom I've probably read). Vigorito easily falls within that class. Few are able to articulate the Known beneath the known, but Vigorito pulls it off spectacularly. You can't do that without having actually Seen something. Vigorito has written a book that should be far more than a cult classic. It should be required reading in the School of Life. In addition to being incredibly insightful, it is also incredibly well written, hilarious, sad, painful, stimulating, scary, mind-bending, and above all, it points to real truth. I read a lot, and this is one of the best books I have read in many years. Thank you, Tony! Write on...

This book is magic in its purest form

Comment:
NKON was suggested by a loved one as a book I should read. I have been thrilled from the start of my journey through this book with my inner connection to each and every passage of this creative work of artistry! The author Tony Vigorito dares to take the reader to places that evoke emotions and thought processes that bring to life the raw beauty that is possible to see in this world if we would all click off our cell phones and just take the time to dream and look around.
This book has been nothing short of a spiritual journey I feel so blessed to have stumble into. I have walked away with the knowledge of who I actually am in this crazy world, that the flow of life is a gift not to be taken lightly, and know that love exists in such a powerful form it becomes magical when we live our destiney!
The book in my opinion is to be read slowly, with a glass of wine without the outside interruption of the world. There are many aha moments, tears, laughter and feelings of love that will surface as the author takes you deeper and deeper into yourself through the passages of the story.
In my creative world this book will travel with me to the end of time, will be read again, and shared with many!
Many shouts of thanks to Tony Vigorito for his contribution to the world as not seen by most!
