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...
评分开始读这本书的时候,我坐在医院的候诊大厅里,在大屏幕滚动到我的名字之前,我读完了整整半本。我是想夸这本书可读性很强还是谴责医院排队时间过长,这其实无足轻重,重要的是从医院出来以后,我突然想起来马上就是一个朋友的生日,我觉得这本书非常适合他,于是立刻上京东下...
评分究竟是什么时候开始,你看着家人,却觉得他们像是陌生人……让每—个人都笑中带泪找回“家”,由强纳森·崔普尔编著的《谁来替我照顾妈妈》改编的电影将由华纳兄弟20l2年搬上银幕,飙泪指数赶超《当幸福来敲门》。
评分那啥,这就结束了?!
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.
评分你可以哭,當然也可以笑。
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。
