"It starts with a bridge in a town outside Stockholm. If you ask anybody else what it’s about, and if that person is uncomfortable, as we all are uncomfortable, with admitting that this is about our own fears, insecurities, and self. If you ask someone like that, like me, and their walls are up, the way walls are always up. If you ask them what Fredrik Backman’s book, Anxious People is about. They’ll say it’s about a bank robbery, a hostage drama, a group of people eating pizza. But they’re lying, because that’s just the story. The book, what it’s about. It’s about the ways we love eachother. This book. It’s about everyone."
