Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on June 04, 1952)

Happy birthday to the legendary Dambudzo Marechera! Your words still echo louder than ever, proving that even from beyond "The House of Hunger," your literary feast continues. Who knew a stroll through the "Cemetery of Mind" could be so delightfully enlightening?

Your fearless exploration in novels like "Black Sunlight" has left readers both amazed and slightly bewildered—exactly how you intended it. Today we celebrate not just another year since your arrival into this chaotic world, but also decades of brilliant chaos you've gifted us all. Here's hoping wherever you are now is stocked with endless notebooks—and fewer editors!
