Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on October 11, 1935)

Happy Birthday, Daniel Quinn! May your day be as enlightening and thought-provoking as Ishmael's philosophical gorilla wisdom. You've challenged humanity’s ego with wit and insight—reminding us that perhaps we're not the pinnacle of evolution after all (though some still stubbornly disagree!).

From "The Story of B" to "After Dachau," you've consistently nudged readers toward deeper reflection on our place in this world. Your timeless narratives continue inspiring countless minds—and probably a few existential crises along the way.

Here's hoping today brings you laughter, joy, and maybe even another brilliant idea for shaking up human self-importance once again!
