92 years old (Born on March 13, 1933)
Happy birthday to the one and only Gero Vonwilpert—the literary legend who somehow juggled Estonian roots, German charm, an Aussie lecture hall, and compiling encyclopedias without misplacing a single comma! You’ve managed to teach countless students in Sydney how to pronounce Goethe correctly (it's not "Goat," folks) while simultaneously making literary research approachable—truly Nobel prize-worthy juggling.Your writings are timeless; your humor even more so. After all these years, your popular encyclopedia remains a must-have classic that practically whispers in readers' ears: “Yes, literature can indeed be fun.” Here's wishing you another year filled with great stories—and fewer typos.
