I have only read the first chapter and aside from getting excited, I'm laughing my head off. The story about a man being swallowed by a woman's vagina was "too Filipino" a joke.
"This is what he sees:
"He is inside her to the chest, and as he stares at this in disbelief and wonder she rests both hands upon his shoulders and puts gentle pressure on his body.
"He slips further inside her."
"... He feels the lips of her vulva tight around his upper chest and back, constricting and enveloping him...."
"...Her labia pull slickly across his face, and his eyes slip into darkness."
I miss a dear friend who used to laugh with me when we come across books we love. Wherever you are, I will share Neil Gaiman with you someday.

have you read his 'the wolves in the walls'? very delightful. meant for kids i think. but in our home, it sits among our coffee table books on stuff like filipino artists and the philippine-american war.
