The Imperfectionists
by Tom Rachman
Rachman's book reads like a collection of short story character explorations. The main character is the newspaper that ties all of the other characters together. The book has a brilliant and unique structure. Each chapter takes place in a contemporary setting, but it is followed by the consecutive history of the newspaper and its publishing family from 1950-2007.
The reader is a voyeur into the often depressing lives of the journalists, and editors and the imminent death of the newspaper. Reading The Imperfectionists can feel a little like slowing for a highway accident to catch a glimpse of the carnage.
