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.
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.
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“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.”
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“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...
評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...
