The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

ISBN: 9781921656880 PUBLISHER: Text Publishing Co FORMAT: Paperback

PUBLICATION DATE: 31.10.2011 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX128mm

DESCRIPTION: The Imperfectionists is a novel about the peculiar people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer. While the news of the day rushes past, the true front-page stories for all of them are the blunders and triumphs of their own lives. Rachman's debut novel is beautifully written, intelligent, and makes us care about people who are both flawed and immensely engaging - about their lives, their families, and about the larger family that is their newspaper. The Imperfectionists touches on the fall of newspapers, and the rise of technology but, above all, it is a wise and moving novel about unusual and endearing characters.
