TOM RACHMAN
The Imperfectionists
Thursday, January 20th at 7 PM
We are pleased to welcome Tom Rachman, whose debut novel, The Imperfectionists, is one of the most acclaimed books of 2010. It follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters and editors of an English-language newspaper in Rome, as they struggle to keep it - and themselves - afloat.
The paper, founded by an enigmatic millionaire fifty years ago, has gone through many changes. Now, amid the stained carpeting and dingy office furniture, the staff's personal dramas seem far more important than the daily headlines. As the era of print news gives way to the Internet age and this imperfect crew stumbles toward an uncertain future, the paper's rich history is revealed, including the surprising truth about its founder's intentions.
"So good I had to read it twice simply to figure out how he pulled it off. I still haven't answered that question, nor do I know how someone so young . . . could have acquired such a precocious grasp of human foibles. The novel is alternately hilarious and heart-wrenching." — Christopher Buckley, The New York Times Book Review
