À propos de cette écoute

Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He isn't as young as he used to be. He drives a Saab. He points at people he doesn't like the look of. He is described by those around his as 'the neighbour from hell'.Every morning he makes his inspection rounds of the local streets. He moves bicycles and checks the contents of recycling bins, even though it's been years since he was fired as Chairman of the Residents' Association in a vicious 'coup d'état'.

But behind the surly pedant there is a story, and a sadness. And when on a November morning his new (foreign) neighbours in the terraced house opposite accidentally flatten Ove's letterbox, it sets off a comical and heart-warming tale of unexpected friendship which will change one man - and one community - from their very foundations. Quirky and bittersweet, heartbreaking yet outrageously funny, A Man Called Ove is a life-affirming fable for our times.

    There is nothing new in the overall plot:- a grumpy old man mourns his wife and decides that he will join her in death. But the result is not a drively-idiotic-book that one regrets buying : - the ensuing story instead transports one instantly - as only a well written fable can. The author has filled his writing with lightness, with irony , with depth, and with a certain amount of love. His imagery is skilful and exceptionally subtle and he managed to maintain the energy of the writing at a constant rate throughout.
    I doubt that very much has been lost in the translation to English (well done Henning Koch).
    At some point in the book you might find yourself wishing that you had a man called Ove in your life.

    Dare I say it’s “a modern day fable“
