The final line of an enigmatic Jorge Luis Borges poem became the title for Yasmina Reza’s latest book, Happy Are the Happy. For Reza, Borges’ poem suggests that happiness, which people tend to talk about as achievable and context-dependent, is dispensed more mysteriously than we like to think. In our conversation for this series, we discussed the ways contentment transcends our understanding—and how works of literature, too, are more than what their authors understand them to be.
“Happy are those who are beloved, and those who love, and those who are without love.
Happy are the happy.” – Jorge Luis Borges from his poem, Fragments of an Apocryphal Gospel.
