Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on December 20, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Andrei Codrescu! You've revolutionized poetry and prose with humor sharper than Dracula's teeth (and more bite!). Your essays have tickled our intellects like a playful NPR commentary, leaving us both educated—and happily puzzled. Truly timeless wit!

Whether you're weaving Romanian-born magic into novels or scripting screenplays brighter than Bucharest nightlife—your work always strikes chords we didn't even know existed. From Transylvania to the airwaves of NPR, you make literary brilliance look effortless.

Here's wishing your birthday is structured precisely like one of your legendary commentaries: bold in insight, rich in laughter—and undeniably unforgettable. We salute you!
