Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on July 10, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Alice Munro! Your stories have always been short—but your list of awards certainly isn't. From "Who Do You Think You Are?" to "The Moons of Jupiter," you've shown us that life's greatest mysteries can fit neatly into a few pages (and occasionally leave readers scratching their heads in delightful confusion).

Winning the Nobel Prize and Man Booker International was impressive enough, but let's face it—your real achievement is making Canadians proud without ever mentioning hockey or maple syrup. Here's wishing you another year filled with open secrets, moons worth orbiting around—and plenty more literary magic!
