Icon book review: Anxious People

This novel is about relationships. And idiots.
Posted by admin on Wednesday, August 25, 2021

By Robert McCool

Really, Fredrik Backman's 2019 novel, Anxious People (Thorndike Press, ISBN-13: 978-1-4328-7971-6), translated from the Swedish by Neil Smith, is about the ridiculousness in all of our lives. It's about how humor is the only safe guide to a pathway clear of the clay-more mines that lie in wait for those who love somebody, someone who has emotions too, emotions sometimes so like our own it's hard to differentiate between the two. Especially so on New Years eve.

The Ada boys soccer team kicked off its season with a 1-1 tie at Tiffin Columbian Saturday.

Freshman Logan Jolliff netted the lone Bulldog goal. Sophomore Colton Long made four saves in his goalkeeping debut for Ada.  

"I think we dominated possession and had more shots on goal, but their keeper was quite good," said Ada head coach Jason Okuly. "We just couldn't find the back of the net."

The Bulldog boys travel to New Knoxville Monday, August 23 for a 5:30 p.m. match. The Bulldogs then visit Old Fort Thursday, August 26 at 5:30 p.m.
