Anxious People

Estimated time to read: 1 minute

I think the best thing about Backman is the way he introduces people to you. You would think introductions are possible only once. But he introduces the same people multiple times and you see them in a different light each time. And when you finally see them wholly, the way he intends for you to see them, you cannot recognize the person you first saw and you realize you are happy to be proven so wrong.
This book is probably about a lot of things - a bridge, money, relationships, circumstances, death.
But most crucially, maybe this story is really about idiots.
And that's why I loved it so damn much.
