In Dina Rubina's love prose, as in life, the sublime coexists with the everyday. But love is not devalued, not vulgarized, and does not disappear under the brutal onslaught of reality. Getting along. And if Bunin’s “sunstroke” kills, then Rubin’s “solar blades” wound mortally, but do not allow one to die - they condemn him to trial. For the rest of my life. In Rubina’s stories on this topic there is no exaltation, even when the suffering of the heroes is unbearable. In the gallery of those who write about love, Dina Rubina is one of the most honest and courageous writers.
