Opis

A gifted toddler leads subservient friends on a search for something wondrous, reportedly around the corner or across the track according to Miss. Ma'am, a blind fervent advocate for salvation, whose vocation is prostitution. Throughout his short but lifelong journey, the determined treasure hunter exchanges his wealth of sandwiches for directions never accurate, earning him the title, The Sandwich Man. Meanwhile, an undercurrent of violence, sexual abuse, and other injustices transpire at a brothel, church, barbershop, and other landmarks passed, all with oddly similar furnishings. After decades of traveling dead end trails, a devastating storm destroys the aging sojourner's neighborhood producing gentrification and a fresh supply of false leads. Eventually alone and greybeard, a final hunch fails him yet reveals his success. Told from The Sandwich Man's distorted perception - often with misleading syntax - this epic postmodern saga is a poetic beast daring courageous readers to chase evasive clues, wrestle with The Sandwich Man's location and capture his true destination.
