Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 03, 1967)

Happy birthday, Ray Loriga! Another year wiser and still effortlessly cool—clearly you've discovered the secret to aging gracefully: writing novels that defy time and directing films that keep us guessing. From "Lo peor de todo" to your recent literary triumphs like winning the Alfaguara Prize with "Rendición," you continue proving you're not just a storyteller but also an expert at making existential crises oddly entertaining.

Here's hoping this next chapter of life brings even more plot twists, unforgettable characters, and perhaps fewer sleepless nights editing scripts. Keep inspiring us all—and remember, birthdays are nature's way of telling writers they need another draft!
