520    "Collects the personal dispatches from the front lines of 
       one of the most daunting experiences any man can 
       experience: fatherhood. As he conveys his profound awe at 
       experiencing all the 'firsts' that fill him with wonder 
       and catch him completely unprepared, Fredrik Backman 
       doesn't shy away from revealing his own false steps and 
       fatherly flaws, tackling issues both great and small, from
       masculinity and mid-life crises to practical jokes and 
       poop. In between the sleep-deprived lows and wonderful 
       highs, Backman takes a step back to share the true story 
       of falling in love with a woman who is his complete 
       opposite, and learning to live a life that revolves around
       the people you care about unconditionally. Alternating 
       between humorous side notes and longer essays offering his
       son advice as he grows up and ventures out into the world,
       Backman relays the big and small lessons in life"--
