Happy Birthday, Francine Prose! May your day be as delightfully satirical and brilliantly witty as "Blue Angel," a novel that continues to charm readers while cleverly skewering academia. Your fearless exploration of complex themes has given us laughter, insight, and plenty of reasons to question authority—thank you for keeping literature sharp!From the captivating storytelling in "Household Saints" to the vibrant characters of "The Glorious Ones," you've consistently dazzled with humor and humanity. Here's hoping this birthday brings joy worthy of your literary triumphs—and may it remain blissfully free from awkward faculty meetings or misguided campus scandals! Cheers!
