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.
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...
评分其實最開始是無關內容,我就是在最需要一個出口的時候看到了這本書的名字。單純就這件事情來說,我已經得到至少一半的滿足了。在接下來拿到書一口氣讀完的過程裡,我自行標配電影讓我剩下的一半得到最大限度的滿足。 生活裡,很多事情沒有特別的規定,包括在你父親葬禮上是哭...
评分这个故事的背景是美国,要守丧7日这样的要求几乎没有的。当大家积聚在一起时候,发生了许多事情。就是这样的情况让每个亲人关系更进一步。人长大了好像心都被繁忙的工作和周照的环境变的麻木了。不会感受到喜怒哀乐。不会发现身边的微小变化。男主人公身上发生的事在小说开始部...

评分一向不喜欢外国文学,这次是被书的封面吸引的,这个温馨的封面让我觉得内容应该是既感动又催泪的一本关于“妈妈”的书。但是。。可但是,当开始读序的时候我就知道我的想法就被彻底颠覆了。 故事以主人公的父亲去世为开头,描写了一家兄妹几个见面就互相攻击、讽刺、...

评分那啥,这就结束了?!

评分22/10/17-18/4/18 虽然是先写的书再改编的电影,但是阅读的过程中一直觉得这小说就是蹦着要拍电影去的。戏剧冲突很多,但有些也太扯了,比如最后老妈的出柜;嫂子把小叔子上了,这两货以前还是情侣;男主小时候撞见老爸老妈女上男下,老妈居然还告诉他在为爱鼓掌。奇葩的一家人。
