Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on December 02, 1958)

Happy Birthday, George Saunders! May your day be even more delightfully peculiar than the charmingly persistent Gappers of Frip. From exploring human kindness in unique scenarios to captivating us repeatedly—your knack for storytelling deserves a celebration that's anything but ordinary.

Congratulations as you continue to shine following the acclaim that "Tenth of December: Stories" has achieved; may each birthday story crafted today involve fewer thorny dilemmas and far tastier cake-filled endings. Your distinctive literary voice continues inspiring readers everywhere—we can't wait for what quirkiness you'll surprise us with next year (but please keep away those stubborn gappers). Happy celebrating!
