Set in the enchanting city of Rome, this captivating literary work intricately weaves together the lives of peculiar characters who work for an international newspaper.

Description:
'Off the record, who is it?' He hesitates. 'I don't see why you need to know.' But he does see, of course. 'It's my son.' Their chuckles are audible over the speakerphone. 'Are you serious?' Lloyd Burko is having troubles with his sources, with his technology at the paper, and with his family. 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. Tom 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, endearing characters.
