Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on September 01, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Antonio Lobo Antunes! May your day be filled with more joy than an elephant's memory can hold and fewer complications than a doctor's waiting room. Your literary brilliance in "Elephant's Memory" still echoes loudly—proving that elephants aren't the only ones who never forget greatness.

From exploring deep human emotions in "Fado Alexandrino," to boldly declaring love for stones ("Eu Hei-de Amar uma Pedra"), you've shown us all how beautifully strange life—and literature—can truly be. Here's wishing you another year of crafting timeless stories, witty insights, and perhaps finally convincing everyone else why loving rocks isn't so unusual after all!
