Anxious People

I recognize Backman's writing talents so easily but I have a personal grievance against characters all clearly being stereotypical with no nuance. Bad guy was bad guy, selfish woman was the selfish woman, smart ass was the smart ass, on and on. I personally enjoy getting to know characters and figuring out what motivates them and what bothers them, etc. in their own time but in this book it was black and white only which was a shame to me.
