My goodness, his last line was so kind and generous. A perfect speech!
He is a very very kind and humble person
The last part got me in the feels❤
I said the exact same thing before I read your comment. Yes.. perfect.
Last line gave me goosebumps, total class
I just finished "Anxious People" and it was a RIDE! I loved it.
I came here from TikTok...had to hear the full speech. He's brilliant 👏 😊
I came from Insta...had to hear the full speech.
Same!
Same😂
Same😅
I came from Facebook for the same reason… and now I have to buy one of his books.. he’s amazing!
This speech is perfection. And now I need to read all of his books.
Same!
I have! They are AMAZING!
Please keep a pack of tissues handy...🥲like Ron Weasley once said "you're gonna suffer but you're gonna be happy about it." 😬
Great writer. wort reading over and over again.
Me too ❤
"I am going to have a writers' block, I just haven't gotten around to it yet"
Oh SNAP! It hurts. 🤣🤣🤣
This guy is like the spiritual heir of Rodney Dangerfield. He's that good.
What a gem of a speech! This man is hilarious and didn’t crack a smile.
That's Swedish folks for you 😅 (I live in Sweden)
Scandinavians don't smile when talking. Nor do Finns or Estonians. I should know, I'm one of the above, have lived in two of the above & have visited 4 of the above.
A local publishing house that translated his books uploaded a part of his speech to facebook, so I had to watch the rest! What a legend!
Came here from IG conpelled to listen to the full thing. Lovely man
Than ending was gold 💛
I know right it was so sweet!!
Fredrik Backman is such an incredible author. His books have made me laugh and cry in equal measure. They have broken me, and then made me smile, sometimes within the same sentence. They stay with you long after the final page.
Hearing other authors discuss their eccentricities always brings me so much comfort. This was brilliant.
My favourite author! Not only love his writing but his sense of humour! He and his brain are a brilliant team.
The books are great, however his short stories about his life on instagram is brilliant to
❤
I have never read any of his books, but my mom sent me a reel of this and I just had to look up the whole thing.
And honestly, I have more in common with this guy than I would've ever guessed
That was like watching a good author reading his own notes.
I hope he does an audio book in that exact voice.
I'm here as a proud Swede to watch this amazing speech by this absolutely amazing Swedish author.
He's brilliant and I absolutely love everything he's written.
We who come from a tiny country always love it when other people from our tiny country make it big. It becomes a sort of national pride.
And Fredrik Backman is someone Sweden can be *really* proud of.
Sweden is small? Lol NZ half your size. But yes from another small country, get the pride, what an absolute national treasure.
This man is a genius and we need more people like him in our lives.
I do so enjoy his mind! (and loved all his books). So stop procrastinating, Frederik. I need your next book! 🙂
I don’t know how I came across Fredrik Backman but I’m so happy I did. His books are incredible, they speak to me, they make me feel whole.
So there is no surprise when I watch this speech that I’m blown away. What an immense person 🦦 keep on writing Fredrik Backman you have inspired me to write 📖
Best speech ever! It is funny but true and beautiful at the same time.
I have rewatched this so many times. And it gives me joy every time!
me 2!!!
Yup! Me 3! And....shared it with so many others. Brilliant speech, and brilliant books and a wonderful person.@vitoshaword2270
He's better than most stand-up comedians
true
Fantastic!! He's a brilliant author and a wonderful human being. His books are absolutely terrific!
The end was very meaningful
Omg älskar detta! Fredrick Backman är en legend!!!
one of my favorite authors. What a joy to hear this speech.
Brilliant! Thank you for the share...and for helping me fill four minutes instead of...actually, I'm going to watch it again...
my favourite author in the whole wide world who not only inspires me to be a better writer but also a better person!!!
The best writer's speech ever written and a master of connecting with readers and future fans. Now added him to my want to read list.
Absolutely brilliant!! One of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. Well done!! Very inspiring.
Mr. Backman is a treasure. I'd never heard of him before, but now I'm anxious to read his work.
The best and most genuine way ever to pour belief in faltering would-be writers! I especially admire that he is a non-native English speaker/writer (like me). Fell in love with this guy - and now I need to get round to all his books (hope will happen sooner, than getting round to my writers" block :D)
Hilarious and soo witty! Outstanding! He sounds a lot like the Swedish colleagues I have had had the pleasure to work with...all very witty!
I came here because of Austin Kleon's newsletter. Love this!
Came here from Angela Duckworth and the No Stupid Questions podcast. At this point in the ceremony she was backstage after her own speech, realizing she took the whole thing way too serously.
What a joy he is! I love his books and this speech.
the ending! just oh my god!
Saw a part of his speech in an IG reel and I had to look up the full one here. I love books and I’m gonna grab his books. Love his speech! I’m learning about anxiety and procrastination more and more and being kind to myself when I go through it..
What a brilliant speech ❤❤❤
What a brilliant speech
Great speech, found it via X and glad I did.
The best speech ever!!!!!
Lovely and hilarious! My Grandmother and her family were from Norway....so this explains the depression 😂 "The future" 🤣
Absolutely brilliant!
Wow!!!! Powerful ending!!
Wathed a snippet of this speech on tiktok and immediately started reading his book "A man called Ove". Bloody brilliant 👍
Love this. So on point, and generous. 🌹🌹🌹
Loved this!!!
That was touching. Sensational!
Wow! What a beautiful, and kind thank you at the end.
Loved this 😂 Thank you Mr. Backman
This makes me love him even more!!!
My favorite author ❤❤❤
I like it as much as I like the so much missed Sir Ken Richardson!
Loved the speech ❤
A great speech as his great books
Love it.
This is fantastic. Of course I have to read the guy who gave that speech.
A genius!
Thanks Digg, well worth watching.
Loved this!!
That ending!!!
Waow! This was aBazing, now i must read all his books
This is fantastic and very relatable. 😅🤣
Love this!❤
Give the man more than 4 minutes!!
SUPERB!
He’s so dead funny I don’t know why he wrote a kinda sad books, but he’s the best one ❤
Best author of all time if u guys haven't read his stuff. Check out Beartown
I love him
Brilliant
He is very good att point out the "Swedish coldness" but With a humiristic touch ;)
the best!!!!
He should do standup comedy!
Чудовий ❤
the asl signing needs to be larger... asl is a visual language. we need to able to actually see the signs being made. perhaps a way to magnify that section for those that wish to see it better.
Excellent speech! Now I'm off to work with my imaginary friends.
I think his agent was right... This speech will definitely be good for his career! 😁
Maybe someone knows information about his new book that he menshioned in video? I can't wait for his new book anymore😭😭😭
❤❤❤
So funny! And wise.
❤
Brilliant! 😂
He is hilarious
🤣 and ❤️
your agent was right - this was good for your career 🤣
Unfortunately, his agent was right, this was good for his career. I want to read his books.
👌 👏 😍
He sounds exactly like...Ove...with a sense of humor. lol
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
This guy can be a standup comedian right away!
Deadpan self deprecation. Utterly brilliant.
How can this man make me feel so much emotion, his books make me cry, his speech makes me laugh, this man has harnessed magic with his ability to write
Which books?
A man called otto (ove) people with anxiety, beartown, such a lovely writer!
Beartown is my personal favorite so far
@@bobbie750 All of them. Each one is a masterpiece!
Så kul att se hans framgångar, började läsa hans kolumn i tidningen Café, skrattade så jag grät varje gång! Fantastisk författare, älskar när han skriver om sin familj mest dock, hysteriskt hjärtevärmande 😂❤
Samma här! Han är helt fantastisk.
Oh my god, the ending had me in tears
No doubt a fantastic mind to write a speech like that. Thanks to whomever posted this.
That ending was excellent. Love everything Backman does.
Listening to this in Switzerland, eating chocolate 😉. The perfect speech. Have read most his books in Swedish. So funny.
Impressing!
Eller är svenska något du lärt dig som barn?
@@mathiasjohannesson9833nope taught myself Swedish in my 20s. Just to read books, I don't really speak it 😂
I saw a short on Instagram and had to find you. What a great speech. Love the movie a man called Otto and I am now looking to buy My Grandmother Sends Regards & Apologise for myself and a friend. Your agent was right. Love from the Netherlands 😊
The best Author’s speech I have heard so far. Self deprecating humour at its finest.
wonderful heartfelt speech from another author who appreciated it so much.
