THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 19, 2025 Page 3 Malden author Jason Rubin reads from his latest book at The Gallery@57 T he Malden community will have something to celebrate when local author Jason M. Rubin presents a reading from his latest work, “Shorts: A Sizable Collection of Short Fiction.” The event will take place on Sunday, September 21, 2025, from 1:00– 2:00 p.m. at The Gallery@57 (57 Pleasant St. in Malden). For anyone who enjoys fiction that blends wit, insight and heartfelt storytelling, this book reading promises to be an afternoon well spent. “Shorts” is a wide-ranging anthology that showcases Rubin’s versatility as a storyteller. The book includes traditional short stories, dialogues and duologues, and inventive pieces written as monologues and soliloquies. With equal parts humor and poignancy, Rubin introduces readers to characters and situations that are deeply relatable, sharply observed and often surprising. “Shorts offers finely tuned studies of people at their best and worst,” Rubin notes. “I wanted to capture the full spectrum of human experience in a way that’s both moving and entertaining.” Rubin, who has been an active voice in Malden’s cultural scene, brings a strong literary presence to the city. His event at The Gallery@57 is expected to draw both devoted readers and those eager to discover new local voices in literature. The reading is free and open to the public. Attendees will have the chance to hear Jason bring his stories to life, ask questions and purchase signed copies of “Shorts.” This event is brought to you by Creative Malden and sponsored by the Malden Cultural Council and the Mass Cultural Council.

While in neighboring cities like Medford and Revere, $1.4 billion, while Saugus is $1 billion. Somerville boasts $4 billion. These disparities underline the need for a strategic shift in our approach. To address this issue, I recently sponsored a paper aimed to take proactive steps towards developing a comprehensive master plan aimed to bolster our commercial and industrial tax base. This initiative is not just a fiscal necessity; it is the foundation for growth and maintaining affordable living conditions for all our residents. I urge you to join me in making this our number one initiative. We can ensure that our city not only thrives but remains a place where residents can afford to live, work and flourish.
