The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia

5.0

I read this book for a college course in experimental literature, and I completely fell in love with it. Sal (the author) came to our class and spoke to us about it, which was awesome, especially since he's so unaffected and it seems like his writing is really authentic and comes straight from the heart. He artfully combines magic realism and metanarrative, though in the end, it's truly a love story. People of Paper is just delightfully different, sweet, tragic, and thought-provoking.
