Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on February 04, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Robert Coover! May your celebrations be as wildly imaginative as Pinocchio navigating Venice or Gerald throwing one of his legendary festive fiascos. Your works have taught us that reality is best served with a hearty pinch of magical mischief—especially when tackling complex historical moments like the Rosenberg trial through magic realism. Who else could blend fairy tales and history into an enticing literary smoothie?

As you turn another page today, here's hoping the year ahead is filled with more compelling parties (preferably without Gerald’s chaos), enchanted twists worthy of Briar Rose herself, and fewer public burnings. Cheers to you—a timeless storyteller who magically keeps us reading between fantasy and reality!
