Reading “Anxious People” reminded me why I became such a huge admirer of Swedish novelist Fredrik Backman. He can be laugh-out-loud funny, an incredibly insightful observer, a wise philosopher, and a masterful manipulator of emotions, sometimes even all on the very same page. He is without a doubt one of today’s finest novelists.
“Anxious People” is an exceptionally entertaining read. Some say it’s even better than his phenomenal debut novel “A Man Called Ove.” It’s not. But it is one of the best fun reads of the year.
