The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

The Imperfectionists is about the quirky, maddening, endearing people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the young freelancer who is manipulated by an egocentric war correspondent, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer.

Rich Levy is a poet and (since 1995) executive director of Inprint,
a nonprofit literary arts organization in Houston. He earned his MFA at
the Iowa Writers Workshop, and his poems have appeared in Boulevard, Gulf Coast, Pool, The Texas Observer, and elsewhere. A jazz obsessive, he and his wife have three children, two dogs, and one sleepy cat.

Why Me?, Levy's debut collection, published in Fall 2009 by Mutabilis Press,
reveals an original, and often humorous voice, that of husband, father,
artist and executive, the voice of the aging modern man confronting the
often absurd and hilarious dichotomies in our society. Brazos is
thrilled to present Rich Levy, an invaluable resource to Houston's
literary life and a beloved friend to many.
