"The People of Paper"

by Salvador Plascencia

Illiterati: Gen X Book Club will meet at FUSION on Sunday, January 4, from 11 AM–1 PM. The January discussion will be on The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia.

Amidst disillusioned saints hiding in wrestling rings, mothers burnt by glowing halos, and a Baby Nostradamus who sees only blackness, a gang of flower pickers heads off to war, led by a lonely man who cannot help but wet his bed in sadness. Part memoir, part lies, this is a book about the wounds inflicted by first love and sharp objects.

Online reviewer Amani concluded: "There should be more books like it around."

Online reviewer juicydicksalinger summarized: "The sheer creativity put into this book is amazing, but the ideas are cluttered."

We are a media-positive book group. Audiobookers and Podcasters are welcome too. Prepare yourself for lively, non-disrespectful discussion. BYO snacks and drinks!

This book club is FREE and open to the public!
