Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on January 27, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Mordecai Richler! May your day be filled with more wit and charm than Duddy Kravitz's entrepreneurial schemes, and may you celebrate in a style grander than Barney Panofsky’s legendary escapades. Your stories have given us laughter, insight, and unforgettable characters who feel like old friends—quirky ones we adore despite their flaws.

From the mischievous adventures of Jacob Two-Two to the epic tales of Solomon Gursky, you've captured our imaginations across generations. Here's hoping your birthday is as timelessly entertaining as your novels—and that today you're granted at least two slices of cake (because everyone knows Jacob always asks twice!).
