77 years old (Born on September 19, 1947)
Happy Birthday, John Eppel! Another year older and wiser—though we suspect you're still puzzling over "The Curse of the Ripe Tomato." Your novels have taken us down "The Great North Road," introduced us to giraffe men, and made even tomatoes seem suspiciously sinister. Truly timeless!From poetry that captures life's ironies in "Spoils of War" to stories like “White Man Crawling” that keep readers chuckling (and occasionally crawling), your literary genius continues to delight. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given readers worldwide—and may all ripe tomatoes behave themselves today.
Cheers, John!
