Fredrik Backman

Laugh, cry, and feel everything in between with Fredrik Backman, the Swedish author whose novels about ordinary people in small communities have made him one of the most beloved fiction writers in the world. Backman writes with extraordinary warmth, wit, and emotional intelligence about grief, love, community, and the complicated business of being human — finding the profound in the everyday and the heroic in the ordinary. His debut novel A Man Called Ove became a global phenomenon and was adapted into two acclaimed films. His other essential works include the gripping Beartown trilogy (Beartown, Us Against You, The Winners), the tender Anxious People, and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. Books that remind us why we need each other.
