Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on April 25, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Darcey! May your day be brighter than the neon glow of "Suicide Blonde" and more uplifting than a chapter from "Easter Everywhere." Your words have always danced gracefully between profound insight and delightful irreverence—here's hoping today brings you as much joy (and fewer existential crises) as you've given readers over the years.

From guiding aspiring writers in classrooms to captivating us with novels like “Up Through the Water,” your literary journey continues inspiring. Here's wishing another year filled with creativity, laughter, success—and perhaps just enough chaos for an unforgettable memoir sequel. Cheers to many more chapters ahead!
