Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on February 18, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Mihkel Mutt! Another spin around the sun and still crafting tales sharper than Estonian winters—your wit ages as gracefully as vintage satire. From "Hiired Tuules" that tickled our intellect to incisive essays reminding us never to take sacred cows too seriously, your literary flair remains unmatched.

Whether navigating absurdity or illuminating truths from life’s labyrinthine journey, you've emerged victorious among novels, short stories, travelogues—and probably a quirky misadventure or two along the way. May this next chapter bring you plenty of ink-worthy escapades (and fewer rebellious characters). Here's raising a cheerful toast: To Estonia's favorite satirical maestro!
