`The Imperfectionists joins that short list of fine novels about journalism, which includes Evelyn Waugh's Scoop...' * Age * 'Rachman paints the characters' small dramas and private disappointments with humanity and humour.' * New Yorker * 'So good I had to read it twice simply to figure out how he pulled it off...The novel is alternately hilarious and heart-wrenching.' * New York Times Book Review * 'The Imperfectionists is a precise playful fiction, with a deep but lightly worn intelligence.' * Times Literary Supplement * `The Imperfectionists is a winning mixture of warmth, wit, poignancy, quiet insight and powerful melodrama.' * Courier-Mail * 'The Imperfectionists will strongly satisfy...a magnificent tribute to the fall of newspapers.' * Vogue * 'A clever critique of the newspaper industry, and a fascinating character study into damaged people.' * Marie Claire * `[A] zinger of a debut...Chapters read like exquisite short stories, turning out the intersecting lives of the men and women who produce the paper...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.'
