Things My Son Needs to Know About the World by Fredrik Backman
#throwbackthursday
Genre/Categories: Non-Fiction, Essays, Humor, Parent/Child
In 2020, I decided to systematically revisit my older review posts and update them. On Thursdays, I’ll be re-sharing a few of these great reads. Today, I’m re-sharing a review of a poignant and reflective essay collection, Things My Son Needs to Know About the World by Fredrik Backman. This might make an interesting Father’s Day gift (U.S. Father’s Day this weekend).
I’m linking up today with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #throwbackthursday.

My Summary:
“Things My Son Needs to Know About the World is a collection of humorous and poignant essays Fredrik Backman wrote to teach his son about life. Essays range from short and light (how to beat Monkey Island 3) to poignant and deep (why a dad might hold onto his son’s hand just a little too tight). Underlying it all are thoughtful themes including those of unconditional love, a desperate desire to not fail at fatherhood, falling in love, and friendship.”
Humorous, insightful, creative, and appropriately poignant…

QOTD:
Have you read Things My Son Needs to Know About the World or is it on your TBR?
What a great share with Father’s Day coming up. I still need to read this one, so thanks for the reminder. I am off to check out your review, Carol.
Backman can be so entertaining!
He sure is. I have loved every book of is that I have read.
Fatherhood themed books would be a good post this week! I just read a vaguely Icarus related story with lots of missing father and parental sacrifice issues
I’ve got a book review coming tomorrow that fathers might love! Not father themed but a space adventure! Yep I read sci-fi! 😂😂😂
This sounds heartwarming!
I love Backman!
Carol I have read this book and loved it. Backman always delivers. ♥
Yes he does! Beartown #3 will be out in October.
