More musical dance than written word...

The following is reprinted from Sacramento Book Review.

"Part quirky love story, part philosophical manifesto, and part metaphysical mystery, Nine Kinds of Naked is almost more musical dance than written word. Tony Vigorito's book on life, and those things outside the boundaries of the traditional plane, is right at home with the works of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore. The lives of these characters are forever changed by the sight of a woman singing while floating naked in a river. It is that sign that travels through space and time, finally culminating in a world-changing hurricane that settles off the coast of New Orleans. Seventeenth Century missionaries, gnomes and fairies, secret agents, and average everyday Joe's from Normal, Illinois, all are inexplicably drawn to "Laughing Jim," which not only fails to break land, but rips the clothes right out of dressers and floats delicate tea cups through the air and rest them gently on the ground in time for a dainty drink from a cat. Nine Kinds of Naked is a quizzical and psychedelic look at the nature of the Butterfly Effect. Just when you think you've gotten it all figured out, a strange man, who only speaks in the present-tense, shows up to upset the proverbial apple cart and the iconic "stripper with a heart of gold" comes across as something fresh and new in Vigorito's capable hands. Confused? Don't worry. That's part of the point."
