Titel: The Imperfectionists
Auteur: Tom Rachman
ISBN: 9781849160292
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

'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. Deadline is closing in and he is falling apart. The Imperfectionists is a novel about the quirky, maddening, endearing people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the young freelancer who is manipulated by an egocentric war correspondent, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer.

With war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the climate in meltdown and bin Laden still in hiding, the paper has plenty to fill its columns. But for its staff, the true front-page stories are their own private lives. As this imperfect bunch stumbles along, the era of high terror and high tech bears down, the characters collide, and the novel hurtles toward its climax...
