![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What begins as an idiosyncratic book about a bank robbery-gone-terribly-awry unfolds into an astute and beautifully rendered character study of a random group of people who are thrown into a very stressful situation as a botched robbery suddenly turns into a hostage situation. As soon as I started reading, I knew I had made the right choice. I had also heard from a friend that Backman has a good sense of humor, and as a TV comedy writer, I love to laugh. I picked up Anxious People because, well, it seemed like reading about other anxious people might make me feel better about my own anxiety. First, a confession: I am not one of the millions of people around the world who read A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman’s previous best-selling book. ![]()
