About Book

En man som heter Ove

Douban

NeoDB

Meet Ove, a 59-year-old with a peculiar temper and a penchant for complaining about everything. He wanders the neighborhood with unbreakable principles, a daily routine, and a volatile temper. He's known behind his back as "the neighbor from hell." He patrols the neighborhood early every morning, moving bikes that haven't been parked in the designated lanes, checking that garbage is properly sorted, complaining about unmowed lawns, and cursing at stray cats that are shedding their fur. It's an endless cycle.

He wants to commit suicide.

Until one November morning, when a talkative couple and their two chatty daughters moved next door and accidentally broke his mailbox.
