The People of Paper is the debut novel of Salvador Plascencia. It is part of the Rectangulars line of McSweeney's Books. The novel, in form, owes a debt to a wide variety of experimental fiction from the magical realism of Latin American writers to the American postmodernists of the 60's and 70's, particularly in its turn towards metafiction. The book is notable for its unique layout, featuring columns of text running in different directions across the page, blacked out sections, and a name that has literally been cut out of the novel.
