Happy Birthday, Paul Auster! May your day be filled with fewer existential crises and more cake-induced absurdities. Your novels have taught us that life is a curious blend of chance encounters, mysterious illusions, and the occasional missing umbrella—so here's hoping today brings you pleasant surprises rather than puzzling plot twists.From "Moon Palace" to "The Book of Illusions," you've masterfully blurred reality's edges while keeping readers delightfully perplexed. Thank you for reminding us that life's greatest mysteries often lie in everyday absurdities. Here's wishing you another year full of literary brilliance—and may all your birthday candles burn brighter than existential dread!
