You may remem­ber Jonathan Trop­per from his best-sell­ing nov­el This is Where I Leave You (or maybe one of his oth­er fine books). Well, lucky for you (and us) his newest nov­el, One Last Thing Before I Go, will be pub­lished by Dut­ton in August. Oh, and look out for the movie ver­sion, as well.
