Inspiration
[edit]Backman got his inspiration for this book after reading an article about a man named Ove who had a passform while buying tickets at an art museum.

Eventually, he realized that his writing had potential for the creation of an interesting fictional character.[2]

En man som heter Ove är en roman skriven av den svenska författaren Fredrik Backman och utgiven år Romanen har filmatiserats år Backman beskriver i sin roman många aspekter av Oves liv såsom ensamhet, bitterhet, kärlek, vänskap och annat som har med människan att göraIn both instances, the narration can veer toward the preachy or overly pat, but wry descriptions, excellent pacing and the juxtaposition of Ove's attitude with his deeds add plenty of slag to balance out any pathos."[6]Publishers Weekly called the novel "a fuzzy crowd-pleaser that serves up laughs to accompany a thoughtful reflection on loss and love. Though Ove's antics occasionally feel repetitive, the author writes with winning charm."[7]
