Fredrik Backman (bestselling author of Beartown, A Man Called Ove, Us Against You, and Anxious People) shares Things My Son Needs to Know about the World, an irresistible and moving collection of heartfelt, fictional, humorous essays about fatherhood intended to provide his newborn son with the perspective and tools he'll need to make his way in the world.
Collecting personal dispatches from the front lines of one of the most daunting experiences for any man: fatherhood, Things My Son Needs to Know about the World is a lively collection perfect for new (and time-tested) parents, for fans of Fredrik Backman's novels, and for anyone seeking a little guidance in a complex world that makes each of us feel like a two-year-old now and then.
“Each chapter is filled with Backman’s dry wit and brutal honesty, but behind all of the humor is real, heartfelt sentiment and poignant advice." -- Booklist
