70 years old (Born on January 16, 1955)
Happy Birthday, Mary Karr! May your day be filled with laughter, cake, and fewer liars than your childhood memoir. Your brilliant wit in "The Liars' Club" kept readers chuckling through dark times and glued to the New York Times Best-Seller List for over a year—proving once again that honesty (and humor) truly is the best policy.From winning the Pushcart Prize to captivating us with "The Devil's Tour," you've shown us poetry can be both profound and hilarious. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given readers everywhere—and may your next memoir have fewer devils but just as many laughs!
