Happy Birthday, Elinor Lipman! May your day be filled with more delightful plot twists than "Then She Found Me," and fewer awkward moments than Alice Thrift's dating adventures. Your wit has charmed readers for decades—clearly, you're aging like fine literature!From the heartfelt humor of "The Dearly Departed" to your knack for capturing life's quirkiest details in every novel you pen, you've given us countless reasons to smile (and occasionally snort-laugh). Here's hoping this year brings even greater literary triumphs—and perhaps a birthday cake that's sweeter than any fictional romance you've crafted. Cheers to another chapter well-written!
