The People of Paper Author:Salvador Plascencia THE PEOPLE OF PAPER is an astonishing debut novel about the anguish of lost love. Author Salvador Plascencia, a "once-in-a-generation talent" (George Saunders), weaves together the stories of a large cast of colorful characters, including: a disgruntled monk, a father and daughter, a gang of carnation pickers, and a woman made of paper.
Amazing book--SO worth the effort needed to unravel the layers of narrative. Plascencia's prose is beautiful, and the characters are all so interesting. All in all, a heartfelt meditation on the anguish and self-pity of lost love.
