What my son should know about the device of this world

Fredrik Backman defines the genre of this book as "expanded blog" - it really resembles an online diary or a series of posts on LiveJournal. Addressing his little son, the author reflects on a wide variety of subjects - from football to "IKEA", from video games to the categories of good and evil. Along the way, he shares his first, sometimes comical, experiences of fatherhood - with that unique Backman blend of irony and tenderness that has earned him the love of millions of readers. This is not just a conversation with a tiny being who is yet to grow into a personality, but also an honest reflection with himself, an attempt to understand his responsibility for what is happening in the world.
