Reviews

"In a wry domestic tone nicely akin to Tom Perotta's, Mr. Tropper . . .introduces a darkly entertaining bunch of dysfunctional relatives. . . . This author's strong suit is wisecracks, the more irreverent the better."--Janet Maslin, "The New York Times"



"Often sidesplitting, mostly heartbreaking.... [Tropper's] a more sincere, insightful version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche."--"USA Today"



"Hilarious and often heartbreaking... a novel that charms by allowing for messes, loose ends and the reality that there's only one sure ending for everyone."--"The Los Angeles Times"



"[A] magnificently funny family saga.... Read and weep with laughter. Grade: A"--"Entertainment Weekly"



"The novel is artful and brilliant, filled with colorful narratives and witty dialogue. ... [Tropper] can find the funny in any situation."--Associated Press



"Tender and unexpectedly hilarious."--People.com

"Jonathan Tropper is a genius."--Jane Green

"Jonathan Tropper is the new breed of novelist who writes for men and women with ease and grace."--Haven Kimmel

"A beautifully crafted book of enormous heart . . . utterly magnificent."--Augusten Burroughs on "The Book of Joe"

"Tropper's book is a smart comedy of inappropriate behavior at an inopportune time."--"Publishers Weekly" on "How to Talk to a Widower"

"A mixture of mourning and mockery . . . surprisingly moving."--"Entertainment Weekly" on "How to Talk to a Widower"
