Den svenske humorist bragede igennem med sin debut om verdens vredeste gamle mand.
Glem alt om sex, blod og gys: Fredrik Backman (f. 1981) fik sit gennembrud med en debutroman om noget så usexet som en gedigen svensk parcelhuskvarters-kværulant. En mand der hedder Ove beskriver livet, som det tager sig ud for den umanerligt pedantiske ældre herre Ove, som lige er blevet udfaset fra sit arbejde, og hvis kone for nylig er død.
Med humor og varme får Frederik Backman menneskeliggjort sine figurer, og han er blevet en af sit hjemlands mest læste forfattere på rekordtid.
