With <em>A Game of You</em>, collecting issues #32-37 of <em>The Sandman</em> series, Gaiman deftly explores themes of gender, sexuality, identity, and self-definition.  <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60681893">more...</a>]]></body>

This is a sequel (of sorts) to the events in <em>The Doll's House</em> (Volume 2); however, the main thing I remember from that volume is the serial killer convention while I only have a vague memory of the other stories.
