Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on April 07, 1931)

Happy birthday, Donald Barthelme! May your celebratory slice of existential cake defy narrative expectations and leave us all happily bewildered. Your tales have reshaped fiction—whether it's plotting balloon ascensions to absurdity or crafting conversations that make perfect nonsense.

Cheers to the literary magician who's taught readers to laugh at life's mysteries and question ordinary realities. Your success is measured not only in published pages, but also in minds delightfully scrambled by postmodern wit. Here's hoping your day is filled with improbable dialogues, whimsical ironies, and just the right hint of metafictional chaos—exactly as you'd want it!
