Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on March 31, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Marge Piercy! May your day be as timeless and captivating as "Gone to Soldiers," yet filled with fewer plot twists than "Woman on the Edge of Time." Your words have inspired countless readers—though we're still waiting for a futuristic robot from "Body of Glass" to bake you a cake.

From historical sagas that grip our hearts, like your bestselling masterpiece, to visionary tales exploring humanity's edge—you've given us stories worth celebrating. Here's hoping this birthday brings joy brighter than summer days in “Summer People,” laughter louder than literary critics' praise—and absolutely no dystopian surprises!
