Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on January 16, 1933)

Happy birthday to the brilliant Susan Sontag! Your sharp wit and fearless intellect have illuminated our world, making us rethink photography, interpretation, illness—and even how we live now. Honestly, who else could turn metaphors into page-turners?

From winning prestigious awards like the National Book Critics Circle Award and a MacArthur Fellowship (because genius deserves recognition), you've consistently challenged conventions with style and grace. Today we celebrate your timeless insights—though we're still debating whether interpreting this greeting is allowed or not.

Here's wishing you another year filled with provocative ideas, literary triumphs, and fewer people misunderstanding your essays at dinner parties!
