Way late to the party, but man -- THE IMPERFECTIONISTS by Tom - TopicsExpress

Way late to the party, but man -- THE IMPERFECTIONISTS by Tom Rachman is spectacular. Thanks to Meg Wolitzer for the reccomendation. That rarest of things, a gripping, funny literary trip. Paperback has one of those book club discussion sections at the end, which I should probably object to as tacky but which I gobbled up happily... In it, Rachman talks about how he inhabits such a wide range of characters, which Im attempting in the thing Im writing now, and his explanation strikes me as the reason I love novels so much: Writing (and reading) is a sort of exercise in empathy. In life, when you encounter people, you and they have separate trajectories, each person pushing in a different direction. Whats remarkable about fiction is that it places you in the uncommon position of having no trajectory. You stand aside, motives abandoned for the duration. The characters have trajectories now, while you just observe. And this stirs compassion that, in real life, is so often obscured by our own motives.
