There's a high you get when you complete an almost-perfect book and know you will forever chase that feeling—this is one of those books for me. It was strange, beautiful, hilarious, crude, and wonderful in every way. I've never seen the chaotic interior of my brain represented in print before, and my goodness, it is gratifying. I loved Newman's previous novel We All Want Impossible Things and praise it often. Sandwich will join its oft-recommended ranks, as well as be a repeat read for me.
