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.

究竟是什麼時候開始,你看著傢人,卻覺得他們像是陌生人……讓每—個人都笑中帶淚找迴“傢”,由強納森·崔普爾編著的《誰來替我照顧媽媽》改編的電影將由華納兄弟20l2年搬上銀幕,飆淚指數趕超《當幸福來敲門》。
評分這個故事的背景是美國,要守喪7日這樣的要求幾乎沒有的。當大傢積聚在一起時候,發生瞭許多事情。就是這樣的情況讓每個親人關係更進一步。人長大瞭好像心都被繁忙的工作和周照的環境變的麻木瞭。不會感受到喜怒哀樂。不會發現身邊的微小變化。男主人公身上發生的事在小說開始部...
評分前兩天有朋友神秘兮兮地推薦瞭我一部小說《誰來替我照顧媽媽》,說是有點小黃小暴力,當然越是這麼說越能勾起彆人的閱讀欲望。其實這原本是一個親情故事,講述瞭一個很簡單的故事:福剋斯曼先生過世瞭,他的兒女們,在母親的嚴肅謊言下,用各種各樣啼笑皆非的形式紀念他,包括...

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!
評分看過電影纔買的一本二手小說來讀,小說內容遠比電影要更多,有些甚至更顛覆三觀,電影的劇本還是很可以的。 但讀完小說時候貌似更能理解為什麼Jen齣軌,有時候並不隻是一個人的錯,麵對一個無法溝通,不體諒然後還越來越遠的老公麵前,Jen也有自己的傷需要去撫慰,也需要有人來安慰。愛是復雜的,沒有想象中的那麼純潔,但是愛也可以變得很直率簡單。感覺最重要的就是如何放下對未來的恐懼和不安,大膽的接受每一個可能性
