The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper

The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper

A man must return to the hometown he disowned in this "sweet, deft, and sentimental coming-of-age-at-34 story" (New York Daily News) from the New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You

"An elegiac, wickedly observant look at a small town and its secrets."--Tom Perrotta, author of Mrs. Fletcher

Fifteen years after leaving Sleepy Bush Falls, Connecticut, Joe Goffman wrote a savage bestselling novel about his hometown. The book went on to become a hit movie, making Joe a pariah in the Falls, which was fine with him, since he never planned on going back. But when a family tragedy strikes, Joe is left with no choice. His return ignites a maelstrom of hostility among the town's still enraged residents.

As Joe walks the familiar streets of his childhood, he revisits the terrible events of his senior year in high school, and the heartbreak and catastrophe from which he's never fully recovered. After almost two decades of hiding it, Joe will finally have to face his troubled past and start mending fences with family, onetime schoolmates, and a former love. And with the help of some old friends, Joe might actually learn something--if he manages to live through the homecoming.

One Last Thing Before I Leave, How to Speak to a Widower, Everything Changes, The Book of Joe, and Plan B are among Jonathan Tropper's works. He is currently working on a feature picture adaptation of This Is Where I Leave You for Warner Brothers Studios, and he is a screenwriter, co-creator, and executive producer of the HBO/Cinemax television series Banshee (produced by Alan Ball), which premiered in 2013.
