Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on October 07, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Clive! Here's another year of cleverly unreliable memoirs, vivid literary adventures, and cultural insights no one else thought to question. Your "Unreliable Memoirs" series taught us that truth is always better seasoned by a dash of humour—who knew that exaggeration could taste so deliciously relatable?

From crafting brilliant verses in "Fan-mail: Seven Verse Letters," proving poetry can indeed be fanatical yet witty —to illuminating humanity’s quirks with your grand achievement “Cultural Amnesia,” you've reminded everyone that brilliance and laughter go hand-in-hand. May this birthday grant you even more amusing reliability (or reliably amusing unreliability) for years ahead!
