Ex-television artist of Karelia Olesya Kuznetsova met with Uve and Frederick Bakman

Fredrik Buckman’s “Second Life of Ove” sat on my bedside table for two weeks, hinting, “Come on, read me.”.

At first, the “boyish” style of the author strongly cut delicate philological ears, accustomed to the classics. At some point I wanted to close the book. In general, reading from the series “first I did not understand, and then how I understood”

But Buckman subtly weaves into the storyline of what happened to Owe before we met him.

And now the ever-bursting 59-year-old Swede Uve appears before us a completely different person.

I experienced the full range of emotions, from tears of genuine empathy to sarcastic laughter, without which it is impossible to read a book.

In Uva, you recognize yourself, your loved ones, remember the tough clashes with the system, and in the “tie” and “white shirts” you will see those with whom you often communicate.

Many wrote that they watched the film and were delighted, describing the story as “good”. I usually start with a book.

And I can tell you that it really is. A book about goodness and the breadth of the soul. But the sharp topics that the author so skillfully presents to the reader for reflection, no less.

By the way, the horror film “Forest” by Svetlana Tyulbasheva can now also be seen, not only read. The movie came out. The action, let me remind you, takes place in the Karelian taiga. Well, actually, what taiga, such and horror.
