Jonathan Tropper is the author of How to Talk to a Widower, Everything Changes, The Book of Joe, and Plan B. He lives with his family in Westchester, New York, where he teaches writing at Manhattanville College. He is currently adapting This Is Where I Leave You as a feature film for Warner Brothers Studios.
The death of Judd Foxman’s father marks the first time that the entire Foxman family—including Judd’s mother, brothers, and sister—have been together in years. Conspicuously absent: Judd’s wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Judd’s radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public.
Simultaneously mourning the death of his father and the demise of his marriage, Judd joins the rest of the Foxmans as they reluctantly submit to their patriarch’s dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a family.
As the week quickly spins out of control, longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed, and old passions reawakened. For Judd, it’s a weeklong attempt to make sense of the mess his life has become while trying in vain not to get sucked into the regressive battles of his madly dysfunctional family. All of which would be hard enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Judd’s father died: She’s pregnant.
This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's most accomplished work to date, a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind—whether we like it or not.
其实,很多事情,你未必懂。 永远不要以为你能看懂一本书的标题 “谁来替我照顾妈妈”,看到这种标题你会想起什么?某人的临终念想?大肆描绘母爱的煽情书?或者讲述母亲辛苦打拼的励志书?全错!本书的内容与标题几乎没有一点联系,这样一本又欢乐又感动又贱又纯又耐琢磨的...
评分其实评了英文版的,中文版也还不错。 有关家人,有关爱情,有关婚姻..... 我们总是想象回忆中的美丽,于是忽略了现实的美好,于是很多人都过的不够幸福。 我们总是把自己放在世界的中心,但是别人也是一样,于是怨恨多了起来,其他的不明的情绪也多了起来。 我很喜欢这样的感觉...
评分生活渐行渐远,你需要多努力才能把你的生活变得如此狗血? 之前好友推荐这本书的时候,我是嗤之以鼻的。《谁来替我照顾妈妈》,这种书我是不看的。可是,有些缘分就是逃不掉的,我最后还是看完了这本书,公交上也看,等人的时候也看。 看完之后,才发现,即使贾德的生活都成...
评分无论是在家人的爱恨上,还是在对人的洞察上,这本书已经到达一种极致。看的时候会大声笑,会心酸地热泪盈眶,我这是我喜欢的一本书,非常喜欢。 我不知道强纳森·崔弗尔的书是否都是这样,或者说我不确定他是不是一个真正的作家,但我确定,他对生活的理解至深。
评分One of my best friends texted to me last night, she told me that she’s been having a crush on a boy, and probably the guy was very into her, it seems they are approaching a relationship accidentally. I told her I was very happy to hear that, since she has...
看过电影才买的一本二手小说来读,小说内容远比电影要更多,有些甚至更颠覆三观,电影的剧本还是很可以的。 但读完小说时候貌似更能理解为什么Jen出轨,有时候并不只是一个人的错,面对一个无法沟通,不体谅然后还越来越远的老公面前,Jen也有自己的伤需要去抚慰,也需要有人来安慰。爱是复杂的,没有想象中的那么纯洁,但是爱也可以变得很直率简单。感觉最重要的就是如何放下对未来的恐惧和不安,大胆的接受每一个可能性
评分开头几章口吻挺有趣的 后面看过电影知道情节就没那么吸引人了 家庭戏还是很戳泪点 电影选角不错 找Jane Fonda演娘真是个略欢乐的致敬原作 有些细节比电影里骨骼惊奇 由于最近观影和阅读略有绑定 弄得业余文学生活也总是围观婚姻破裂的气息啊!
评分midnight film.
评分More down-to-earth than David Sedaris. If this were a movie, Steve Carell'd be perfect for the role of Judd. Love a good dysfunctional family story.
评分“Childhood feels so permanent, like it's the entire world, and then one day it's over and you're shoveling wet dirt onto your father's coffin, stunned at the impermanence of everything.”
