The Elliott Bay Book Company

The death of the Foxman family patriarch brings together a most dysfunctional crew to carry out the deceased's last request—seven days of family togetherness—in Jonathan Tropper's comic novel, This is Where I Leave You (new in paperback, Plume). "[A] magnificently funny family saga ... It's amazing what can happen in the hands of the casually brilliant author. Tropper steadily ratchets up the multigenerational mayhem, often involving unwieldy lust or vociferous inter-sibling squabbling, with the calm authority of someone who knows his characters from deep within his kishkes—that's Yiddish for 'guts' ... I urge with all my heart and kishkes: Read this one! Read and weep with laughter." - Lisa Schwartzbaum, Entertainment Weekly.
