Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The newspaper was founded in Rome in the 1950s, a product of passion and a multi-millionaire's fancy. Over fifty years, its eccentricities earned a place in readers' hearts around the globe. But now, circulation is down, the paper lacks a website, and the future looks bleak. Still, those involved in the publication seem to barely notice. The obituary writer is too busy avoiding work. The editor-in-chief is pondering sleeping with an old flame. The obsessive reader is intent on finishing every old edition, leaving her trapped in the past. And the dog-crazy publisher seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer. The Imperfectionists interweaves the stories of eleven unusual and endearing characters who depend on the paper. Often at odds, they are united when the focus of their lives begins to fall apart. Funny and moving, the novel is about endings - the end of life, the end of sexual desire, the end of the era of newspapers - and about what might rise afterward. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Leben: Rachman wuchs in Vancouver (Kanada) auf. Er studierte Film an der University of Toronto und Journalismus an der Columbia University mit Abschluss als Master. Ab 1998 arbeitete er als Redakteur für Associated Press (AP) in New York City und zeitweilig als Reporter in Indien und Sri Lanka. 2002 ging er als AP-Auslandskorrespondent nach Rom. Seit 2006 arbeitete Tom Rachman in Teilzeit als Redakteur für die International Herald Tribune in Paris. The Imperfectionists ist sein erster Roman und wurde zeitgleich in zehn Ländern publiziert. Für sein Roman-Debüt erhielt er in den USA einen der höchsten Vorschüsse, die in den letzten zehn Jahren für ein Erstlingswerk bezahlt worden sind. Brad Pitt kaufte die Filmrechte. Das Buch wurde vielfach rezensiert, in Deutschland unter anderem von der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung und der Süddeutschen Zeitung. Christopher Buckley schrieb in The New York Times über The Imperfectionists: Dieser erste Roman von Tom Rachman [.] ist so gut, dass ich ihn zweimal lesen musste [.]." The New York Times bezeichnete ihn als gleichermaßen Liebesbrief und Epitaph auf die Welt der Zeitungen". Der Focus schrieb: Er setzt der alten Welt aus Papier, Druckerschwärze und verqualmten Redaktionsräumen, aus Eilmeldung, hastigen Interviews und nervtötender Zeilenschinderei ein Denkmal." In Deutschland erschien der Journalistenroman außerdem in einer gekürzten Lesefassung als Hörbuch, gelesen von Heikko Deutschmann. Rachman ging nach dem weltweiten Erfolg von The Imperfectionists von Rom zurück nach London, um sich dort ganz dem Schreiben zu widmen. Sein zweiter Roman The Rise and Fall of Great Powers erschien 2014. Der Roman löste bereits kurz nach Erscheinen ein breites Presseecho aus. 2017 erschien Basket of Deplorables, ein Band mit Storys über USA unter Trump, der auch auf der Shortlist für den Edge Hill Prize for best collection of stories stand. Sein dritter Roman The Italian Teacher (2018) wurde für den Costa Book Award 2018 in der Kategorie Roman nominiert. . . . Aus: wikipedia-Tom_Rachman.
