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.
“没那么简单,就能去爱,别的全不看,变得实际,也许好也许坏各一半,总是不安,只好强悍,谁谋杀了我的浪漫”。为什么黄小琥的这首歌能引起那么多人的共鸣,除了她的声音和歌曲的旋律,更多的恐怕是歌词中传达出来的、对生活的阅历,正所谓“白发渔樵江渚上,惯看秋月春风”...
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Goodreads上一篇获很多赞的评论,二星,作者的ID叫JFN。 I picked up this book on the recommendation of an acquaintance whose taste I trust. And in reading the dust jacket flap, I was immediately drawn in by the idea of the book: a family -- four siblings -- m...
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.”
评分midnight film.
评分那啥,这就结束了?!
评分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
