“A Man Called Ove” by Frederick Backman
- Tuesday, August 25: 1:00-2:30pm (Upper Level)
- This story is an uplifting exploration of the unreliability of first impressions and a reminder that life is sweeter when it is shared with other people.
- You might recognize the movie title “A Man called Otto” starring Tom Hanks.
- Ove is a curmudgeon. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse.
- People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
- You might well hate and love him in each paragraph and get a laugh and cry at his attitude.
- Advance registration requested, call 630-554-5602.
- Dr Kim Rich, Book Discussion Guest Leader
