The Day Before It Rained: Stories by Rich Rubin

by Rich Rubin

Overview

The Day Before It Rained is an eclectic collection of short stories ranging from quirky portraits to tales of LGBTQ+ relationships; plus eccentric takes on friendship, romance, and everything in between. Whether period pieces or modern day works, from the magical to the mundane, from the heart of Kansas to the Yorkshire moors or the Tunisian desert, the stories span the years, travel the globe, and explore the spectrum of emotions. The author's characters discover love, loss, hope, and fear—in other words, the dubious joy of being human.

Editorial Reviews

Rich Rubin is a traveler. He's a wanderer. These stories are like buying coffee at an untried deli on a crisp overcast day in New York City. There's something small, perfect, private about them. Bundle up and take the walk.

Playwright/ screenwriter Daniel Talbott - N/A

Rubin's acute powers of observation create vivid scenes populated with indelible characters. I wanted to meet them all.

Witty, charming, engaging, and thought-provoking, The Day Before It Rained is not just a collection of short stories. It is an examination of what it means to be human, and how we can still find joy and connection in the simplest moments of life.

Rich Rubin's mellifluous prose reminds me of a good Islay single malt — smoky and strong and best taken in small sips to savor the complexity.
