Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on November 01, 1935)

Happy Birthday to the brilliantly incisive Edward Said! For a scholar who mastered literary theory, philosophy, and critical discovery without ever missing a beat (or citation), you’ve shown us all how true wisdom never gets old—it just gains footnotes. Thanks for proving that post-colonialism isn't simply academic; it's profoundly stylish too.

Your groundbreaking works continue inspiring countless debates worldwide—although we’re still debating exactly what some of them mean. Your fearless advocacy as an intellectual giant shows your greatest success isn’t measured solely in pages written but in powerful minds awakened around the globe. Here’s wishing you many more enduring epiphanies ahead!
