Tom Rachman's The Imperfectionsts.

This month, Troy Patterson, June Thomas, and Julia Turner discuss Tom Rachman's The Imperfectionists. The debut novel, which got a rave on the cover of the New York Times Book Review, takes place at an English-language newspaper in Rome. Does it live up to the hype? Is it a novel about journalism, or a workplace novel, or both?

Slate's Audio Book Club comes to you on the third Monday of every month. Our September pick is Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad Love Story. Look for our discussion on iTunes or on the Slatehome page on Monday, Sept. 20. Also, like the Audio Book Club on Facebook.
