April 23 is the birthday of two men, both unquestionably at the highest ranks of literary production. Nabokov, and Shakespeare share this birth date. Shakespeare and another literary giant Miguel de Cervantes both died on the same date, the one in question -- April 23. (Actually though both died in 1616, Spain was using the Gregorian calendar, and England the Julian, and so they did not actually die on the same day.) And though other details could be quibbled about also, these coincidences are interesting.
