¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Colette!
AKA Sidonie Gabrielle Colette.
Born January 28, 1873. Died August 3, 1954.
She was an internationally famous writer whose literary work was once cited by one of my college teachers as proof that the very French are very different from us in the same way that the very rich were very different from us. She is most famous for her novel Gigi -- which inspired the play and movie of the same name -- but my world literature teacher would probably prefer that I also acknowledge her two novels Cheri and The Last of Cheri.
In any event, I have always found her work to be very interesting and I wish that more people were aware of it.
