520			_a"With the war in Iraq, the climate in meltdown and Bin Laden still in hiding, the staff of an English language newspaper in Rome has plenty to fill its columns. But its journalists are far more concerned with their own personal affairs. A desperate, ageing correspondent in Paris wrestles with his temptation to use his estranged son to stretch a story. A lonesome newspaper executive falls for the man she just fired. And an eccentric publisher pays less attention to his struggling paper than to his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer. As this imperfect crew stumbles along, the history of the paper also unfolds -- its impulsive founding by millionaire Cyprus Ott and how it has fared while being passed down through the generations of Otts. Chapter by chapter, each focusing on a different staffer, the paper's predicament worsens and the characters collide as the era of high tech carries on around them. The Imperfectionists explores not just the fate of the printed word, but also of those who have devoted their lives to it." (Book Sleeve)
