Jonathan Tropper , This Is Where I Leave You.

"A snappy and heartfelt family drama... The family's interactions are sharp, raw, and often laugh-out-loud funny... Tropper strikes an excellent balance between the family history and its present-day fallout, proving his ability to create touchingly human characters and a deliciously pageturning story."Publisher's Weekly "[An] hilarious, testosterone driven thrill ride... Highly recommended for Tropper fans, who will rejoice at the opportunity to indulge; others will wonder where he's been all their lives."Library Journal (starred review) 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. (booksense)… (més)
