«Things My Son Needs to Know About the World» is Fredrik Backman's memoir, published by Michael Joseph in paperback (208 pages, in English).
A first-time father writes his son a series of letters mixing memories, clumsiness and life advice. Between love and IKEA shopping, he explains why he sometimes squeezes his hand when crossing the street and why you don't always have to be the best: being yourself is enough.
The work was originally published in Swedish in 2012 as 'Saker min son behöver veta om världen'; this is its English translation. Backman is also the author of 'Un hombre llamado Ove' and 'Beartown'.
For first-time parents, Fredrik Backman fans and readers of humorous memoirs; also presented as a gift option for Father's Day.
