Happy Birthday to the brilliant Nuruddin Farah! May your day be as captivating and timeless as your novels—though hopefully less dramatic than the twists in "Blood in the Sun." Your literary genius has given us unforgettable characters, profound insights, and enough plot intrigue to keep readers awake past bedtime.

From winning prestigious awards like the Neustadt International Prize to crafting masterpieces such as "From a Crooked Rib" and "Territories," you've consistently amazed us. Here's hoping this birthday brings you joy worthy of a bestselling novel—and cake sweeter than any literary accolade. Cheers to another chapter filled with laughter, inspiration, and endless creativity!
