It's the birthday of fiction writer Mark Helprin, born in New York City (1947). His novels include Winter's Tale (1983), Memoir from Antproof Case (1995), and A Soldier of the Great War(1991). He writes about characters who go on adventures, have crises, and come to appreciate the beauty of life.
He said, "I have no agony or resentments. Boredom and alienation don't mean a thing to me."
