Fredrik Backman

Fredrik Buckman is a Swedish writer, author of several bestselling novels, a man who persisted in pursuit of goals, despite rejections and objections.

In 2006, he decided to try himself as a writer and journalist, becoming a columnist for Helsingborgs Dagblad, a periodical in his city. A little later, his notes began to be published in the capital magazine of Sweden. His appeal to sloppy drivers in the person of "a blonde in a Volkswagen" "got over a million shares on Facebook.

In 2008, Fredrik started his personal blog. At this time, the aspiring blogger was preparing for the upcoming wedding, which he wrote about in the first post. Later, the blog featured the character Uwe, who arose from the story of a colleague Buckman about an angry old man. Readers liked the image so much that they asked Fredrik to write a book about it.

Buckman's path to the literary peak was difficult. In 2012, work on the novel "The Second Life of Uwe" was completed, copies were sent to publishers. However, the writer did not receive any reaction at first. The publishers didn't even bother to send in a refusal. Fredrik did not lose heart and set to work on the second book called "Handbook for crooked drivers", which he wrote in a short time.

Finally, the Forum publishing house became interested in the author's work. The writer persuaded to print both books at the same time, despite the reluctance of the publisher. In addition, the "Forum" did not want to let Buckman to the book fair, not believing in the success of the writer. Stubborn and purposeful, Fredrik nevertheless went there with the support of the Bokia bookstore chain, which called Uwe's Second Life the best book of the month. The line to Buckman for his autograph was endless.

By 2016, the book had become a bestseller. Only in Sweden, 10% of the country's inhabitants have purchased the publication. Outside the homeland, more than 8 million copies have been sold in more than 40 countries around the world. The character Uwe provided his author with financial security for the rest of his life.

Despite this, the Swedish blogger and writer continues to commute to work and write books every morning. For the work, the writer has chosen one of the inconspicuous offices in Stockholm, which he is filming with a journalist friend. In this office were born "Grandma ordered to bow and convey that she asks for forgiveness", "Britt-Marie was here."

In the novels, the author talks either about the elderly or about children. He is captivated by their immediacy, difference from the general mass and the nature of their behavior. A man associates his characters with himself.

In the spring of 2015, the blog moved to Buckman's official website. In Russia, the writer's bibliography is presented by the Sinbad publishing house.

In 2009, Buckman got married and had a son and daughter. The man is reluctant to share the details of his personal life.

The writer is now writing feuilletons and continues to blog. In 2019, another of his novels, Britt-Marie Was Here, was filmed by the Swedish actress and director Tuva Novotny. Russian viewers saw the film in March of the same year.

Also in 2019, a new book, People with Fear, was released, which Buckman spoke about on Facebook, publishing a post and a cover photo of the new edition.
