Emily Rubino

These are Fucked Emily Rubino

In her literary debut, Emily Rubino shines a light on some of the toughest and unanswerable questions. Through short stories of failure and triumph, Rubino sheds light to a realistic expectation of how stories end. There are few happy endings. The Scene Opens: Set in monologue format, Rubino writes about the story of Wes, a recovering drug addict who is trying to figure out what love means to him "Ivy": This avante-garde tale depicts the story of Ivy, a young woman who is discovering who she is, and if happiness really exsists Wise Men Walk Alone at Night: Niall is a high school drop out who realizes his lack for intellectual empathy leaves him undone. Five Years Later: Rubino describes an affair between Sawyer and another woman. She accurately translates what marital life can mean, and if it's worth it. Just a Coffee, Black: In another avante-garde piece, Rubino sheds light on observance versus sympathy.
