Their chuckles are audible over the speakerphone. ‘Are you serious?' Lloyd Burko is having troubles with his sources, with his technology at the pap er, and with his family. The Imperfectionists is a novel about th e peculiar people who write and read an international newspaper b ased in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interest ed in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hou nd, 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. Tom Rachman's debut novel is beautifully w ritten, 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 Imperf ectionists touches on the fall of newspapers and the rise of tech nology but, above all, it is a wise and moving novel about unusua l, endearing characters. Seller Inventory # 2153v

Book Description Paperback. 1. The Imperfectionists tells stories about the peculiar people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, the Mideast correspondent who has no clue how to produce a news story, the grumpy editors at headquarters, the devoted subscribers around the world, and 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 - war in Iraq, terrorism, the rollercoaster economy - the true front-page stories for all of them are the blunders and triumphs of their own lives. The Imperfectionists touches on the fall of newspapers and the rise of technology but, above all, it is a moving novel about eleven unusual, endearing characters. 2010. A trade paperback copy in fine, unmarked condition. Seller Inventory # 20505698
