Libraries To Host Bestselling Author Fredrik Backman On 9/12

TEWKSBURY, MA – Six Massachusetts libraries have joined forces to host bestselling author Fredrik Backman for a Zoom webinar on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at 10:30am EST.

Backman will be discussing his brand new book, Anxious People, in conversation with moderator Joe Golden.

Space is limited. Registration is required and can be found at www.tinyurl.com/anxiouspeople.

While this virtual event is completely free, attendees can purchase an autographed copy of the book to be shipped to their homes from the event’s bookstore partner - Wellesley Books - at www.tinyurl.com/BUYanxiouspeople. 10% of each sale will be donated to the libraries.

Fredrik Backman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, Britt-Marie Was Here, Beartown, Us Against You, Things My Son Needs to Know about the World and two novellas, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer and The Deal of a Lifetime. His books are published in more than forty countries. He lives in Stockholm with his wife and two children.

His newest novel, Anxious People, is a poignant comedy about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.

Jo Golden, the event’s moderator, is a marketing and content strategist for BookBub, an ebook discovery platform. She loves reading, talking about and (attempting) to write books, and can’t get enough of coming-of-age stories and creepy psychological thrillers. She lives in Boston with her husband.

This event is sponsored by a collection of North of Boston libraries, including the Memorial Hall Library in Andover, Billerica Public Library, Flint Memorial Library in North Reading, Tewksbury Public Library, Wilmington Memorial Library, and Woburn Public Library.

This event is part of a series of virtual discussions with bestselling authors held this fall. The next event in the series features a discussion with Kyle Mills, author of Total Power, the latest book in the Mitch Rapp series created by Vince Flynn, on Saturday, September 19, 2020 at 10:30am.
