Reddit reviews The People of Paper

My favorite surrealist book is The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia, and it's a real trip, it's about a the characters in novel becoming aware of the fact that they are fictional characters, and declaring "war" on the author. One of the characters is an origami woman made of paper that causes paper cuts on the tongues of men who perform cunnilingus on her, and there's a man who discovers the cure for sadness through bed wetting. It's truly a special book, and I recommend it to anyone I can.

The People of Paper

This book is verrrry strange, just a heads up. Multiple narrators, varied page breaks and at times switches to a play-like format. Eventually the characters become aware of the author and go to war with him. The narrator also attempts to stop their war by writing about other things, through which we realize that he is severely depressed and these characters are real to him.

My small seminar class never came to a consensus on a lot of it, which I think makes it all the more interesting.
