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...
評分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...
評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...
評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、...
評分前两天有朋友神秘兮兮地推荐了我一部小说《谁来替我照顾妈妈》,说是有点小黄小暴力,当然越是这么说越能勾起别人的阅读欲望。其实这原本是一个亲情故事,讲述了一个很简单的故事:福克斯曼先生过世了,他的儿女们,在母亲的严肃谎言下,用各种各样啼笑皆非的形式纪念他,包括...
midnight film.
评分那啥,這就結束瞭?!
评分開頭幾章口吻挺有趣的 後麵看過電影知道情節就沒那麼吸引人瞭 傢庭戲還是很戳淚點 電影選角不錯 找Jane Fonda演娘真是個略歡樂的緻敬原作 有些細節比電影裏骨骼驚奇 由於最近觀影和閱讀略有綁定 弄得業餘文學生活也總是圍觀婚姻破裂的氣息啊!
评分那啥,這就結束瞭?!
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.
