I found
at Goodwill months ago, and think I need to bump it up on my TBR. I really liked Tropper's style.
I read The Book of Joe years ago and really enjoyed it. I'm currently listening to this new one and finding so far I really love it. Laughing out loud.

Hilarious and wisecracking! The dysfunctional Foxman family sits shiva after the death of their father. Together under the same roof for an entire week, personal problems and emotional confrontations abound. Sibling rivalry. Infidelity. Fertility problems. We get a ringside seat or rather one low to the floor as the Foxman's work through their issues. Tropper has a gift for making these characters seem real.
I love reading about dysfunctional families. It always makes me feel so much better about my own! ;P
