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.
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.
“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.”
評分22/10/17-18/4/18 雖然是先寫的書再改編的電影,但是閱讀的過程中一直覺得這小說就是蹦著要拍電影去的。戲劇衝突很多,但有些也太扯瞭,比如最後老媽的齣櫃;嫂子把小叔子上瞭,這兩貨以前還是情侶;男主小時候撞見老爸老媽女上男下,老媽居然還告訴他在為愛鼓掌。奇葩的一傢人。
評分那啥,這就結束瞭?!

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“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”...
評分其实,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...
評分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...
評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。
