Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on February 14, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Alexander Kluge! May your day be as delightfully complex and intriguing as one of your acclaimed short stories. Your talent for weaving narratives has captivated audiences—earning you the prestigious Hanns-Joachim-Friedrich Prize in 2001—and continues to inspire us all.

Whether directing groundbreaking films or crafting thought-provoking plays, you've always had a knack for making reality seem stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer plot twists but plenty of applause-worthy moments. Cheers to another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps even more awards—you certainly have room on that shelf!
