Happy Birthday, John! Another year older, yet your literary magic remains timeless—much like the mysterious journeys in *Flying to Nowhere*. We hope your celebrations are as captivating as *The Illusionist*, and that your cake doesn't burn brighter than *The Burning Boys*!From poetry to prose, you've enchanted readers and critics alike. With a Whitbread First Novel Award under one arm and a Booker Prize nomination tucked neatly under the other, you're clearly running out of shelf space. May this birthday bring you joy worthy of another bestseller—and may your candles be fewer than the pages you've written!
