Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on December 02, 1948)

Happy Birthday, T. Coraghessan Boyle! Another year older and still crafting stories sharper than a baby boomer's wit at Woodstock. Your PEN/Faulkner-winning "World's End" remains timeless—much like your ability to humorously dissect the quirks of an entire generation without breaking a sweat.

From exploring suburban absurdities to capturing generational angst with unmatched flair, you've given us countless literary gems that age better than vintage vinyl records. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your readers experience when diving into one of your brilliantly satirical tales—and may you continue writing until boomers finally figure out TikTok (so basically forever).
