79 years old (Born on December 08, 1945)
Happy Birthday, John Banville! Another year older and still crafting sentences sharper than a Dublin wit. Your forensic prose has dissected human nature so precisely that even Sherlock Holmes would tip his hat in admiration.From winning the Booker Prize to delighting readers with your darkly humorous narratives, you've proven repeatedly that imagination truly knows no bounds—or perhaps yours just enjoys lurking mischievously around life's darker corners. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your novels have brought intrigue (and occasional existential dread) to us all!
Here's hoping your next chapter is filled with laughter—and fewer plot twists!
