In today's episode, my guest is Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove and his new release Bear Town. We talk about his journey from blogger to novelist, his humble beginnings driving a forklift, what it's like when your book becomes an international phenomenon, staying humble throughout the process, what writing has afforded him in his personal life, writing single viewpoint vs. multiple main characters, and much more.
