Happy birthday, Rebecca Goldstein! Wishing a philosopher-novelist extraordinaire the happiest of birthdays. A writer whose tales traverse darkness and illuminate "Properties of Light," you truly have that MacArthur-genius glow—no spotlight necessary!From dissecting philosophy's complexities to unraveling mysteries through fiction, your words inspire wonder (and occasionally existential confusion) wherever readers roam. May this year bring plenty more Guggenheim-level brilliance and enough literary inspiration to fuel many novels ahead.
Cheers today—and always—to someone who elegantly bridges imagination with intellect; you've mastered turning such bright ideas into timeless narratives we adore celebrating yearly. Here's hoping cake helps ponder life's ultimate properties!
