The Imperfectionists
Tom Rachman
Authentic world of journalism in the big world, where an ordinary eye only hardly can see.
The imperfectionists from the novel by Tom Rachman, although they are so amazingly different, and each one an original, have a lot in common. From the outset it is clear that this an international daily, which is published in English, based in Rome. We meet its editors, correspondents, owners, readers and other people related to the newspaper. Funny stories of each character would have succeeded as separate stories - the chapters are overlapping, and the novel comes into one big story. Mostly through dialogues, which give them immense energy and dynamism. Rachman in his debut succeeded to keep the reader guessing, and make him laugh or cry, naturally telling interesting stories of people similar to those we meet, to our friends and to ourselves.
