The Imposters - Tom Rachman

 The Imposters - Tom Rachman

Publication Date:  June 27, 2023

Dora, a less than successful novelist is reaching the end of her days. It is the time of Covid and she is alone, writing her last manuscript, consisting of stories based on both herself people who have been in her life. The tales are loosely linked and presented in The Imposters as stories within a book.  


The structure of this book is a bit different and sometimes it takes a while to find the interlocking relationships in the stories.   There is tragedy but also quite a lot of humor.  I enjoyed the writing best when it focused on Covid times and the political climate.  The poignant musings on aging and end of life were right on target.  


This book won’t be for everybody.  If you enjoy literate, adroit writing, you might find The Imposters of interest. 


 

Thanks to #netgalley and #littlebrownandcompany for the arc.
