Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on February 22, 1935)

Happy birthday to the brilliant Danilo Kiš! Here's hoping you celebrate today with fewer 'Hourglasses' and more cake—because life's too short for existential angst, right?

Your timeless works like "Psalm 44" have painted our imaginations vividly. And let's not forget your masterpiece collection, "The Encyclopedia of the Dead," reminding us that even stories about mortality can feel strangely alive (or at least lively enough to raise spirits at parties). May this year bring plenty of literary triumphs, clever plot twists worthy of your pen—and absolutely no writer's block. Cheers to another chapter filled with laughter and success!
