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.
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...
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...
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》。
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“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。
