Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on April 13, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Drago Jančar! Another year and somehow you continue to captivate us with razor-sharp commentary sharper than Daedalus’ wings—and infinitely less likely to fly too close to the sun. From compelling novels like "Northern Lights" and masterfully haunting narratives such as “Katerina,” you've proven that your literary genius remains unstoppable.

And just think—after writing powerful plays including “Daedalus” or cleverly nodding beyond Beckett's world in ”After Godot,” life's got nothing tougher left for you but birthday cake dilemmas! Here's wishing another spectacular spin around the calendar filled not only with uncanny insight into politics—but also humor fitting Slovenia’s favorite storytelling maverick.
