Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on August 05, 1934)

Happy Birthday, Wendell Berry! May your day be as delightful and timeless as your prose, and may you celebrate with the same quiet joy found in Port William. Your novels like "Hannah Coulter" and "A World Lost" have taught us to cherish simplicity, community, and the occasional stubborn mule.

Congratulations on continuing to inspire readers everywhere—your essays remind us that sometimes wisdom comes from slowing down (and perhaps avoiding technology). Here's hoping your birthday cake is locally sourced, sustainably baked, and enjoyed slowly enough to make Thoreau proud. Cheers to another year of thoughtful writing—and gentle rebellion!
