Happy Birthday, Ruth Ozeki! May your day be filled with more joy than a Zen master discovering enlightenment in the produce aisle. From "My Year of Meats" to "All Over Creation," you've seasoned our literary palate with humor, insight, and unforgettable characters—proving that fiction can indeed nourish both mind and soul.Your remarkable journey as novelist, filmmaker, and Zen Buddhist leader continues to inspire us all. With "A Tale for the Time Being," you reminded readers everywhere that time is precious—and so are stories told with heart. Here's wishing you another year overflowing with creativity (and perhaps fewer tofu mishaps).
