Backman's ability to examine the human condition is just superb. I love how he zooms in on a character,.then zooms out on the broader story and then zooms in on another character. He simulateously makes you be so angry at a character and feel so much empathy for them.
Graphic: Child death, Alcoholism, Child abuse, Homophobia, and Car accident
