A Book a Week – The Imperfectionists

The Imperfectionists is a short story collection where all the stories are linked. They are all about different individuals working at the same newspaper. I don’t usually pick short-story collections but I’ve loved some over the years and they’ve consistently been the ones where the stories were linked somehow.

I tried to read this on my own a while back but didn’t really get into it. And then it was the book club pick for February so I read it anyway. And I really enjoyed it. Some stories more than others but overall I really liked the book. The characters are interesting and the stories are, too.

Recommended.

  • I’m in some crazy love with that layout. Birds! Flutterylooking BIRDS!

    (Now I’m trying to figure out if something like that wouldn’t look good on the wall of the new house. Maybe in my office…. Hmm…)

    Also, if you liked the interconnected short stories, I’m not sure if you’ve read the novel “The School of Essential Ingredients”, but it’s got a great style, kind of like this. There’s one place that all the characters get together and have their lives intertwined, but each has his/her own story when they’re *not* in class. The author does an *amazing* job of keeping everything coherent and weaving everyone together, too. You might like it. 🙂
