Happy are the loved ones and the lovers and those who can do without love. Happy are the happy.Â â‚¬"Jorge Luis Borges

Schnitzlerâ‚¬sÂ La RondeÂ gives these twenty short chapters their shape while Borgesâ‚¬s poem gives them their content. As we move from story to story, thrilled to reconnect with an old acquaintance from an earlier scene, we canâ‚¬t help but admit that we are very much at home in this human comedy that understands all too well the passing thoughts, desires, actions, fears, and mistakes that we have and make day after day, but that we would be incapable of rendering with such acuity and compassion.
