🎧 The Answer Is No: A Short Story

By Fredrik Backman | Narrated by Stacy Gonzalez | Translated by Elizabeth DeNoma

📚 #1 Best Seller in City Life Fiction

🤣 A laugh-out-loud short story from the bestselling author of A Man Called Ove

Sometimes all a man wants is a quiet night alone—with video games, wine, pad thai, and absolutely no social interaction. For Lucas, that’s the dream. But in The Answer Is No, that perfectly planned evening unravels into hilarious chaos, thanks to an unexpected visit from the apartment board.

Their mission? Investigate a mysterious frying pan left near the recycling room. Their suspect? Lucas. What follows is a brilliantly absurd and sharply funny tale of modern life, reluctant social encounters, and the everyday drama of simply wanting to be left alone.

🎮 Why You’ll Love It:

Classic Fredrik Backman humor—smart, dry, and spot-on
A quick, delightful listen packed with character and heart
Relatable for introverts, neighbors, and anyone who’s ever just wanted a quiet night
A clever satire on modern society and the tiny moments that spiral out of control

Whether you’re already a Backman fan or just looking for something short, sharp, and unforgettable—The Answer Is No delivers a perfectly awkward slice of life you won’t forget.
