Happy Birthday, Doris Betts! Celebrating the literary genius who gave us unforgettable tales like "Beasts of the Southern Wild and Other Stories." Your vivid imagination has taken readers on journeys stranger than fiction—though we still haven't forgiven you for making pilgrimages seem so delightfully awkward in "The Ugliest Pilgrim."From page to stage (and even Oscar-winning film!), your stories have charmed audiences everywhere. Who knew that an 'ugly' pilgrimage could become such a beautiful success? Here's wishing you another year filled with quirky characters, unexpected adventures—and perhaps fewer pilgrims complaining about their looks!
Cheers to more timeless storytelling ahead!
