But I do use incidents from my life in my books but I twist and tweak them a bit. I refer to my work as biographical fiction. Often an incident from my past gives rise to an idea.

The inspiration for that story was a rather hideous corduroy suit but the rest of the story is complete fiction.(less)

short and somewhat sweet

Backman has such a way of understanding people. His writing is brilliant but totally accessible. Love all his books. Really enjoyed this short story.

"Am I the only one thinking there are some similarities to The Wizard of Oz? There are too many reviews to sort through at this point to see if anyone else had the same thoughts, but that's what came to my mind more than once while reading.
