I don't know if quotes are spoiler's, but I don't think so.  Metaphor for the framework:  "And what's really amazing about that place is that it's darker than anything could ever be.  So dark that when you turn off the flashlight it feels like you can grab the darkness with your hands.  And when you're there in the dark by yourself, it's like your body is gradually coming apart and disappearing.  But since it's dark you can't see it happen.  you don't know if you still have a body or not.  But even if, say, my body completely disappeared, I'd still remain there.  Like the Cheshire Cat's grin remaining after he vanished.  Pretty weird, huh?  But when I was there I didn't think it was weird at all.  I wanted to stay there forever, but I thought you'd be worried, so I came out."

I've read almost all of HM's books and this one seemed almost like he had to write it and just for cash. Between "A Wind Up Bird's Chronicle" and his short stories nothing compares. Now the popular market is cashing in on him regardless of if his work is great. I wasn't DNFing at this time but now that I do, I should have.
