The Book of Joe
by Jonathan Tropper
So, I really, really enjoyed this book. It's about a man who, upon realizing he is inhabiting an empty, souless life and hearing about his estranged father's life-threatening stroke, returns to his small hometown in Connecticut. There are some really predictable things that happen from here, but the study of human relationships, the resiliency of the human heart, and final note of home on which the novel ends really did it for me. There was big emotion packed into this book, and it dealt with some of the really big issues that face our generation (not giving up too much of the plot!)
And, in reading this book I realized we're ALL assholes..and as Joe says, "you can really learn a lot from an asshole.." It's in not taking our lives for granted and in focusing on what is important that I think Joe (and all of us) can find a way out of asshole-dom.
Lemme know what you all think!!!
