A Man Called Ove - Book and Film

A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman
A Man Called Otto (2022) starring Tom Hanks

Ove is a grumpy old man who is convinced the world is full of idiots who can’t drive nor park properly. He is extremely disciplined, ruthlessly outspoken and adores his wife. His tough exterior hides the fact that he is a softie at heart. A talkative new neighbour and a fearless stray cat get mixed up in his life and nothing is the same.

Watch the episode to find out if you should read the book or watch the film or do none or both. And don’t worry, no spoilers!

In the world of exponentially growing and addictive “shorts” promoting materialistic things, “The reading lamp” is an oasis and ray of hope. It’s a great concept and you are executing it very well. Your tasteful selection of books, understanding of the core themes, interpretation of “reading between the lines” matter, unfolding subtle aspects by adding necessary perspectives without compromising integrity of original work, narrative quality, articulate but friendly and engaging demeanor makes it an enjoyable and cerebral experience.

After watching “A Man Called Ove” episode (A Man Called Otto is one of my top 10 favorite movie), I subscribed to this channel and will surely follow past as well future episodes as they are released. Also sharing it with our “Sahitya Katta” group members. Wishing you all the best!. Keep up the good work…

Very nicely put forth.
Increases the urge to read the book, which I would try to - definitely.
