Özet

In a hilarious short story from New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman, the absurdities of modern life cause one man’s solitary world to spin suddenly, and comically, out of control.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone?

Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Told in Fredrik Backman’s singular witty style with sharply drawn characters and relatable antics, The Answer Is No is a laugh-out-loud portrait of a man struggling to keep to himself in a world that won’t leave him alone.

One of my favourite authors still can’t disappoint! You get to feel the irritation and frustrations until you feeling the empathy and change with the character. He has such a way of helping us become more accepting of others.

Always relatable

Clever, enjoyed the fact it was a short story - an easy listen in-between longer listens. Some characters were annoying so had to be switched on to listen as this gave the characters greater depth which developed to the end. This is my second Backman book, love his style and will be reading more!

Deeper meaning to trivial life, clever!
