Anxious People: TikTok made me buy it!

Autor Fredrik Backman Traducere de Neil Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2021

În tradiția stabilită de A Man Called Ove, acest roman semnat de Fredrik Backman reia explorarea profundă a singurătății și a modului în care străinii pot deveni, în circumstanțe neașteptate, o comunitate. Dacă în debutul său Fredrik Backman se concentra pe izolarea unui singur individ, în Anxious People acesta extinde perspectiva asupra unui grup întreg de oameni „anxioși”, captivi nu doar într-un apartament, ci și în propriile frici. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorul transformă o premisă de roman polițist — un jaf bancar ratat și o luare de ostatici — într-o meditație blândă despre eșec și compasiune.

Apreciem structura narativă care alternează între evenimentele din apartament și interogatoriile poliției, oferind treptat acces la viețile interioare ale personajelor. De la Anna-Lena și Roger, care încearcă să umple golurile din relația lor prin achiziții imobiliare, până la Estelle, bunica de 87 de ani care privește totul cu o seninătate bizară, fiecare figură este construită cu acea empatie specifică lui Fredrik Backman. Romanul păstrează umorul melancolic regăsit și în Britt-Marie Was Here, însă aici miza pare a fi mai degrabă iertarea colectivă decât regăsirea de sine individuală. Credem că forța cărții rezidă în capacitatea de a ne aminti că fiecare om pe care îl întâlnim poartă o povară invizibilă, transformând un incident haotic într-o lecție despre solidaritate umană.

Recenzii

I utterly believed in the residents ofBeartown, and felt ripped apart by the events in the book
I laughed, I sobbed, I recommended it to literally everyone I know
Funny, compassionate and wise . . . an absolute joy
Captures the messy essence of being human. It's clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry
I loved this book. Funny, sad, clever, insightful, surprising and hopeful. Brilliant in every way
A satisfying remedy for pandemic anxiety . . . It's laugh-out-loud funny and will help restore your faith in humanity
Witty, observant, and unpredictable . . . darkly humorous
'19 New Books to Read in September'
Another smash hit . . . With Backman's stunning characters combined with a closed-room mystery, this has all of the ingredients for a novel all your friends will be talking about
A surprisingly sweet tale. It's the perfect balance of heartwarming and heart-wrenching, and Fredrik Backman [...] has a way of simply yet elegantly describing relationships. We can all be idiots, but we're still all human beings worthy of connection and love
A master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives. He writes so humorously and poignantly about life, marriage, parenthood, love and death
A quirky, big-hearted novel. Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it's a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure
An endlessly entertaining mood booster
This book examines how a shared event can change the course of many lives at once. And if you like strongly drawn characters and a mix of humor and heartbreak, this one's for you
A witty, lighthearted romp...Backman charms
A deeply funny and warm examination of how individual experiences can bring a random group of people together. Backman reveals each character's many imperfections with tremendous empathy, reminding us that people are always more than the sum of their flaws
A tight-knit, surprise-filled narrative. The brisk, absorbing action prompts meditation on marriage, parenting, responsibility, and global economic pressures. Comedy, drama, mystery, and social study, this novel is undefinable except for the sheer reading pleasure it delivers. Highly recommended
Backman's latest novel focuses on how a shared event can change the course of multiple people's lives even in times of deep and ongoing anxiousness. A story with both comedy and heartbreak sure to please Backman fans
Brilliant, funny, and compassionate . . . wonderfully charming
A compassionate story of imperfect people doing the best they can to navigate life in an imperfect world
Praise for Fredrik Backman

_______

It's New Year's Eve and House Tricks estate agents are hosting an open viewing in an up-market apartment when an incompetent bank robber rushes in and politely takes everyone hostage.

For Anna-Lena and Roger, busy buying-up apartments to fill the hole in their marriage, it's something else to talk about.

For Julia and Ro, panicky parents-to-be, it's yet another worry.

Lonely bank manager Zara only came here for the view.

While 87-year-old grandmother Estelle seems rather pleased by the company . . .

As the police gather outside, the anxious strangers huddled within try to make the best of a very sticky situation - but could it be that they have a whole lot more in common than meets the eye?
