«Glücklich die Glücklichen» is the novel by Yasmina Reza, published by Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH in paperback (174 pages, in German).
A choral novel weaving together the lives of eighteen seemingly unconnected characters: the Hutners' son's obsession with Céline Dion and psychiatrist Igor Lorrain's reunion with Hélène, married to bridge player Raoul Barnèche. Reza alternates their voices in a cynical and sometimes hilarious satire of relationships and life's brevity.
Translation from French by Frank Heibert and Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel; original: Heureux les heureux (2013). Winner of the Prix littéraire Le Monde 2013; finalist for the Europese Literatuurprijs 2015.
Readers of contemporary fiction interested in ironic portraits of couple relationships and the bourgeoisie.
Yasmina Reza is a French playwright, actress, novelist and screenwriter best known for her plays 'Art' and God of Carnage. Many of her brief satiric plays have reflected on contemporary middle-class issues.
