Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 12, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Dave Eggers! May your day be filled with joy—and perhaps a little less heartbreaking genius and more cake-eating brilliance. Ever since you gifted us the unforgettable memoir "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," you've set an impossibly high bar for birthday cards everywhere.

From winning prestigious awards like the Los Angeles Times Book Prize to snagging honors such as the Heinz Award (which we assume comes with ketchup packets?), your literary journey continues to inspire readers worldwide. Here's hoping this year brings even greater success—though honestly, topping yourself might just require another staggering work of genius!
