"The other, Phillip, is a cheerful liar. Since sitting shiva requires the mourners to indulge in endless repetitive conversations with visitors, Phillip concocts a wide range of answers to the question of what he’s doing these days: a private equity biotech fund, a Middle East think tank in Washington and a job “on the new Spielberg project” are among the fibs he delivers."

It is dramatic, but what separates This is Where I Leave You from anything anyone else that could have written is Tropper's humor. This is the funniest book I've ever read. No matter how dark or irresolute the situation everything, is humorous; mainly by way of men behaving badly. There are no punch-lines, or situational comedic setups. There is nothing so preconceived as building a scene for the sole purpose of telling an appropriate joke. Everything is organic, very contemporary, most of it will leave you slightly embarrassed or wondering if in the same situation would you have been able to say the same thing.
