For the actor Ethan Hawke, literature has always been both an inspiration and a motif. In our special interview, also taking in music, fame and family, the Brooklyn-based father of four reveals the books that have made him who he is.

Meanwhile in Sweden, The Saga of Gösta Berling by the Nobel Laureate Selma Lagerlöf has for over a century held a special place in the national psyche as well as abroad. In this issue, her wicked novel sends us off on an expedition through Swedish life, nature, food and much more.


The Happy ReaderIssue 6 Reviews


  • Viola

    Pievienojos pārējiem slavētājiem. Patiesi interesanta un izzinoša intervija.

  • Austra

    Probably my favourite so far. Definitely will re-read the conversation with Ethan Hawke, there is so much to take in. And the other half about Sweden is also a treat.

  • Akylina

    Yet another brilliant issue. The interview with Ethan Hawke was much more interesting than I expected and the second part about Scandinavia was utterly fascinating.

  • Tsha Liam

    卷首语好棒

  • Noits

    Devouring these magazines is the perfect pleasure.
    Next one features Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf; a book I've never really delighted in but one by which I have always been dogged (in an academic sense).
    Something to look forward to this summer.

    Ethan Hawkes' interview, at times, verges on the surreal but the section on Swedish literary life is just fascinatingly good.

  • Jeff Howells

    I always look forward to the time this quarterly magazine, pops through the letterbox. This is the Spring issue and contains an interview with Ethan Hawke and articles about aspects of Sweden (eg Wolves, Greta Garbo etc). Always an eclectic read...

  • Nick

    Yet another excellent edition!
