Backman understands the power that a silly game can have over communities and the people that live in them. They can unite but they can also divide. You against me. Us against them.
The way each story and live is intertwined makes it feel like I could walk into Beartown tomorrow. I could drink with Ramona, watch Hed take on Beartown in the rink, and stand cheering amongst the Pack. These people are my people. This is my community. I have been transported like that in a long time.
