Tom Rachman (geboren 1974 in London) ist ein britisch-kanadischer Journalist und Schriftsteller. 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. Often at odds, they are united when the focus of their lives begins to fall apart. The Imperfectionists interweaves the stories of eleven unusual and endearing characters who depend on the paper. And the dog-crazy publisher seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer. The obsessive reader is intent on finishing every old edition, leaving her trapped in the past. The editor-in-chief is pondering sleeping with an old flame. The obituary writer is too busy avoiding work. Still, those involved in the publication seem to barely notice. But now, circulation is down, the paper lacks a website, and the future looks bleak.
