77 years old (Born on July 15, 1947)

Happy birthday, Lydia Davis! May your celebrations be as delightfully concise yet profoundly memorable as your acclaimed short stories. From "Varieties of Disturbance" to "Break It Down," you've shown us that brevity truly is the soul of wit—and occasionally, existential confusion.

Congratulations on being a finalist for both the 2007 National Book Award and the 1986 PEN/Hemingway Award—proof that good things come in small packages (or very short paragraphs). Here's hoping your birthday cake has fewer words than one of your shortest stories but just as much depth. Cheers to another year of literary brilliance and delightful brevity!
