Tom Rachman

(1974)

He was born in London but grew up in Vancouver. He graduated from the University of Toronto and the journalism school at Columbia University in New York. Since 1998, he worked in the foreign offices of the Associated Press in New York, then as a reporter in India and Sri Lanka and since 2002 as a foreign correspondent for Associated Press based in Rome. From 2006 he worked as a part-time editor at International Herald Tribune in Paris while working on his debut novel The Imperfectionists, which talks about people from the environment that he is so intimately familiar with - editorial staff of international newspapers. Currently living in London and preparing his second novel.
The imperfectionists from the novel by Tom Rachman, although they are so amazingly different, and each one an original, have a lot in common. From the outset it is clear that this an international daily, which is published in English, based in Rome. We meet its editors, correspondents, owners, readers and other people related to the newspaper. Funny stories of each character would have succeeded as separate stories - the chapters are overlapping, and the novel comes into one big story. Mostly through dialogues, which give them immense energy and dynamism. Rachman in his debut succeeded to keep the reader guessing, and make him laugh or cry, naturally telling interesting stories of people similar to those we meet, to our friends and to ourselves.
