Tom Rachman\\u2019s debut, the New York Times\\xa0bestselling\\xa0The Imperfectionists,\\xa0was\\xa0a novel-in-stories, each chapter told of a different character in the news business at a time of journalistic tumult. (Rachman was a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press stationed in Rome, then an editor at the International Herald Tribune in Paris.) His new novel,\\xa0THE IMPOSTERS , spotlights a different writer per chapter set in our moment of cultural tumult--a standup-comedy writer in LA; a delivery driver hired to write fake-news in London; a pretentious Brooklyn author struggling through a literary festival in Australia. At the center in all ways is\\xa0Dora Frenhofer, a once successful novelist who knows her mind is going and is determined to finish her final book and reverse her fortunes.\\xa0The plot stops in\\xa0New Delhi and New York, Copenhagen and Los Angeles, Syria to Paris, inhabiting the perspectives of Dora\\u2019s missing brother, her estranged daughter, a lover, and her last remaining friend. Alone in her London home during the pandemic, Dora creates, and is in turn created by, the characters from her own life.
