Winthrop native, Steven Rubin, author of psychological family drama, “The Unraveling of Michael Galler,” published in May 2026, held a book signing on August 29 at Winthrop Book Depot and Café. “The Unraveling of Michael Gallar,” set on the North Shore and inner city of Boston, is a coming-of-age story about a teenage boy overwhelmed by an obsessive fear.
“This is a great opportunity. It’s been interesting meeting old friends and new ones,” shared Rubin, Winthrop High School Class of 1979, who has lived in Connecticut for the last 25 years. “People will find my hometown roots are in this story. It feels local and real to me.”
