Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 2nd printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition (bound to have slight imperfection: page 151-152 sticks up 1/8th inch, o/w quite Fine copy). "Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Rome, Tom Rachman's wry, vibrant debut follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters, editors, and executives of an international English language newspaper as they struggle to keep it--and themselves--afloat. Fifty years and many changes have ensued since the paper was founded by an enigmatic millionaire, and now, amid the stained carpeting and dingy office furniture, the staff's personal dramas seem far more important than the daily headlines. Kathleen, the imperious editor-in-chief, is smarting from a betrayal in her open marriage; Arthur, the lazy obituary writer, is transformed by a personal tragedy; Abby, the embattled financial officer, discovers that her job cuts and her love life are intertwined in a most unexpected way. Out in the field, a veteran Paris freelancer goes to desperate lengths for his next byline, while the new Cairo stringer is mercilessly manipulated by an outrageous war correspondent with an outsize ego. And in the shadows is the isolated young publisher who pays more attention to his prized basset hound, Schopenhauer, than to the fate of his family's quirky newspaper. 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." [jacket copy] "In his zinger of a debut, Rachman deftly applies his experience as foreign correspondent and editor to chart the goings-on at a scrappy English-language newspaper in Rome. Chapters read like exquisite short stories. As the ragtag staff faces down the implications of the paper's tilt into oblivion, there are more than enough sublime moments, unexpected turns and sheer inky wretchedness to warrant putting this on the shelf next to other great newspaper novels."--Publishers Weekly. "A very strong debut. Funny, humane and artful."--Kirkus Reviews. "A rich, thrilling book that is both a love letter to and epitaph for the newspaper world. Mr. Rachman's transition from journalism to fiction writing is nothing short of spectacular. THE IMPERFECTIONISTS is a splendid original, filled with wit and structured so ingeniously that figuring out where the author is headed is half the reader's fun. The other half comes from his sparkling descriptions not only of newspaper office denizens but of the tricks of their trade, presented in language that is smartly satirical yet brimming with affection."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times. Pristine (NF, see above) hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a (mostly-)square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome, intact As New jacket.
