Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on June 30, 1932)

Happy birthday to the legendary Mongo Beti! Your novels like "Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba" stirred controversy, laughter, and deep reflection—sometimes all at once. Who else could make colonial critique so sharp yet entertaining? You've truly mastered the art of making readers chuckle while questioning society.

From your unforgettable characters in "Perpetue" to your powerful storytelling in "Remember Ruben," you've consistently challenged norms with wit and courage. Even today, readers can't help but smile (and occasionally gasp) at your fearless narratives.

Here's celebrating you—a literary rebel whose words remain timelessly funny and fiercely relevant. Cheers to another year inspiring mischief!
