About the Author
Salvador Plascencia is an innovative Mexican-American author whose debut novel, The People of Paper, captivated readers with its bold experimentation in form and narrative. Born in El Salvador and raised in Southern California, Plascencia draws from his multicultural heritage to explore themes of immigration, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction. His work challenges traditional storytelling by incorporating elements like foldable pages and erased text, reflecting the fragmented experiences of his characters. A graduate of the University of California, Riverside's MFA program, Plascencia has been praised for his lyrical prose and imaginative structures that push the boundaries of the novel. He continues to reside in California, where he teaches creative writing and develops new projects that interrogate the power of words on the page.
