Things my son needs to know about the world
Things My Son Needs to Know about the World is a father's humorous attempt to explain how the world works to his two-year-old son
Fredrik Backman, the bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here, hilariously skewers all the anxieties and shortcomings of 21st-century parents in a charming book full of honest fears and unconditional declarations of love that will touch every reader's heart.
To my son. I apologise in advance. For everything I get wrong. For everything I do not get around to. For the minibus. For the shorts. For the "This fine body was built by beer" T-shirt. For trying to high-five your friends. For this book. A book about things I think you should know about the world. About football, IKEA, what it is like to be a man, about God and deep-fried Snickers bars. About what it is like to lose your car keys and why Daddy had to kill a singing plastic giraffe.
Most of this book is about trying to be a good parent. Because I want you to know that I really did my best.
Nobody has Googled as much as I have.
Reviews
“Superb and moving, but above all full of funny and silly comments and observations. Fredrik Backman has once again written something absolutely wonderful and remarkable.”
- Litteratursiden
“Oftentimes useful, unexpectedly modest and funny book. I laughed out loud at this manly declaration of love that encourages play, chasing passion, looking for love, being kind when you can, and strong when you must.”
- Varbergs Posten
“The depiction of parenting, social heritage and spending time with your loved ones makes Fredrik Backman's prose a pure and soulful book.”
- Göteborgs-Posten
