Interview: Fredrik Backman Dedicates The Winners to Those Who Love Something Too Much

The Answer Is No

Featured Listen
Anxious People is a character-driven novel about a failed bank robbery with unexpected results. The novel explores themes of parenting, marriage, mental health, and human connection through a diverse cast of characters brought together by unusual circumstances. In 2021, Backman’s quirky and heartwarming tale was adapted into a popular Netflix miniseries.
Featured Article: 25+ Quotes About the Power of Kindness
Kindness is the quality of being considerate, compassionate, generous, gentle, and caring towards others without expecting anything in return. Often described as a virtue, kindness is also a strength—in fact, it may be one of humanity's greatest superpowers. Whenever you need a little encouragement or gentle reminder, turn to these quotes from authors who understand the power of kindness and express it quite remarkably.
