Just who is Salvador Plascencia? According to those who have read his debut novel, The People of Paper
Plascencia, whose novel was rejected by all the big publishers, has written a fantastical, magical and picaresque first novel that despite being called "confusing" by editors who rejected it, shows some serious writing chops. Not bad for a kid who didn't speak English until he was eight years old.
My copy hasn't arrived yet from Amazon. I'm dying to read it.
