Scandinavians don't smile when talking. Nor do Finns or Estonians. I should know, I'm one of the above, have lived in two of the above & have visited 4 of the above.

@Lbava5 2 месяца назад

Fredrik Backman is such an incredible author. His books have made me laugh and cry in equal measure. They have broken me, and then made me smile, sometimes within the same sentence. They stay with you long after the final page.

Oh my god, the ending had me in tears

@mrsgw79 2 месяца назад

Hearing other authors discuss their eccentricities always brings me so much comfort. This was brilliant.

@Mr.Carrot Месяц назад

I have never read any of his books, but my mom sent me a reel of this and I just had to look up the whole thing. And honestly, I have more in common with this guy than I would've ever guessed

@pengmyragardenvannas8287 2 месяца назад

Så kul att se hans framgångar, började läsa hans kolumn i tidningen Café, skrattade så jag grät varje gång! Fantastisk författare, älskar när han skriver om sin familj mest dock, hysteriskt hjärtevärmande 😂❤

@tessiepinkman Месяц назад

Samma här! Han är helt fantastisk.

@EllueTravel 2 месяца назад

Listening to this in Switzerland, eating chocolate 😉. The perfect speech. Have read most his books in Swedish. So funny.

@Hogni1234 2 месяца назад

That was like watching a good author reading his own notes. I hope he does an audio book in that exact voice.

@DivyaHasti 9 дней назад

The best Author’s speech I have heard so far. Self deprecating humour at its finest.

I don’t know how I came across Fredrik Backman but I’m so happy I did. His books are incredible, they speak to me, they make me feel whole. So there is no surprise when I watch this speech that I’m blown away. What an immense person 🦦 keep on writing Fredrik Backman you have inspired me to write 📖

I'm here as a proud Swede to watch this amazing speech by this absolutely amazing Swedish author. He's brilliant and I absolutely love everything he's written. We who come from a tiny country always love it when other people from our tiny country make it big. It becomes a sort of national pride. And Fredrik Backman is someone Sweden can be *really* proud of.

@jasonbrownjourno Месяц назад

Sweden is small? Lol NZ half your size. But yes from another small country, get the pride, what an absolute national treasure.

@rebeccaw54 Месяц назад

I watched part of his speech on Instagram and immediately came here to see the rest. His speech is absolute perfection. I have watched A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks in addition to A Man Called Ove (I saw this first). He makes his characters very real. Anyway, great speech. I’ve sent it on to someone who might also enjoy it.

@krisztinasebok8997 2 месяца назад

The best and most genuine way ever to pour belief in faltering would-be writers! I especially admire that he is a non-native English speaker/writer (like me). Fell in love with this guy - and now I need to get round to all his books (hope will happen sooner, than getting round to my writers" block :D)

@jessicagodare 27 дней назад

Came here from TikTok, he’s hilarious. I now know my next author I’m going to binge read all their books. My only complaint is all his books are old fashioned paperback (haven’t read a paperback in over 10 years all my books are on kindle).
