Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on July 20, 1933)

Happy Birthday, Cormac McCarthy! May your celebration be brighter than the bleak landscapes of "The Road," and may you find more joy today than Anton Chigurh finds spare change. Your Pulitzer Prize-winning prose has captivated readers with haunting beauty, gritty realism, and unforgettable characters—proving that even in a post-apocalyptic wasteland or lawless frontier town, there's always room for literary brilliance.

From the Southern Gothic charm of your early works to the stark intensity of "No Country for Old Men," you've consistently reminded us why you're one-of-a-kind. Here's hoping this birthday is as timelessly memorable as your novels—and significantly less terrifying!
