Happy Birthday to Philip Roth, the literary genius who somehow made existential angst and neurotic humor surprisingly entertaining. From “Goodbye, Columbus” which introduced us all to awkward poolside romance, to "Portnoy's Complaint," where you bravely (perhaps a little too bravely!) explored mankind’s funniest uncomfortable truths—you have truly given readers some delightfully embarrassing moments we'll cherish forever.And let's not forget your Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece—“American Pastoral”—a devastatingly brilliant blend of mid-life crises and glove manufacturing drama! Here's hoping this birthday finds you far away from any complaints or human stains—and comfortably writing in peace. Cheers to another chapter worth celebrating!
