"With the war in Iraq, the climate in meltdown and bin Laden still in hiding, the staff of an English-language newspaper in Rome has plenty to fill its columns. But its journalists are far more concerned with their own personal affairs. A desperate aging correspondent in Paris wrestles with his temptation to use his estranged son to stretch a story. A lonesome newspaper executive falls for the man she just fired. And an eccentric publisher pays less attention to his struggling paper than to his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer"--Book cover.

Work Description
Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Rome, this wry, vibrant debut follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters, editors, and executives of an international English-language newspaper as they struggle to keep it - and themselves - afloat. As the era of print gives way to the Internet age and this imperfect crew stumbles toward an uncertain future, the paper's rich history is revealed - including the surprising truth about its founder's intentions. (Bestseller).
