Fredrik Backman began writing about the joys of fatherhood on his blog, later using these notes for a book he called "A Handbook for Incompetent Parents." He began working on it after sending the manuscript of "A Man Called Ove" to publishers, wanting to save time. When Forum Publishing contacted him, Fredrik said he had another book ready that he wanted to publish. But he received a resounding "No"—an answer he was completely unsatisfied with. Eventually, the publishers relented, and the book, titled "What My Son Should Know About the World," was published simultaneously with Ove.
Addressing his young son, Backman discusses a wide range of topics—from soccer to IKEA, from computer games to the concepts of good and evil. And along the way, he shares his first, sometimes comical, experience of fatherhood—with that unique, Backman-esque blend of irony and tenderness that has earned him the love of millions of readers. This is not only a conversation on equal terms with a tiny creature who has yet to grow into an individual, but also an honest conversation with himself, an attempt to understand his responsibility for what is happening in the world.
