“Surrealist” author Salvador Plasencia discusses his latest book

Blogger Bookslut interviewed Mexican-born, Los Angeles-raised author Salvador Plasencia (image) on his first novel published last year- The People of Paper. In the interview, Plasencia described the difficulties in trying to succinctly describe his book (“it’s experimental, it’s meta-fiction, it’s surrealist, it’s a war novel”) as well as how he got his book published with McSweeney’s rather than a major publisher.
