76 years old (Born on July 18, 1948)
Happy Birthday, Janet! Another spin around the literary globe and you're still dazzling readers—reminding us all what true storytelling looks like. Just when we thought "The River Beyond the World" couldn't sweep us away more profoundly, along came your short stories in "What the Thunder Said," resonating louder than ever!You've graced The Kenyon Review, Quarterly West—and countless other journals—with prose richer than birthday cake frosting (and far healthier for our minds). Your characters linger long after final pages turn: complex companions forever making mischief or meaning. Here's to another year of crafting brilliance—we can't wait to see what's next!
