Stephen Rubin, publisher of 'The Da Vinci Code' and other blockbusters,
dies at 81
Stephen Rubin, a longtime publishing executive with an eye for bestsellers
and a passion for music and public life who helped launched the career of
John Grisham, among others, and released such blockbusters as "The Da
Vinci Code" and "Fire and Fury," has died. He was 81.
Rubin died Friday at a hospital in Manhattan after "a brief and sudden
illness," according to his nephew, David Rotter.
Book publishing is hard to imagine without the raspy-voiced Rubin, a
powerful and colorful presence for decades with his tortoiseshell glasses,
stylish suits and wide range of friends and colleagues, from Jacqueline
Kennedy to Beverly Sills. He hosted memorable parties at his spacious West
Side apartment and was a prime source of gossip and alternately profane
and loving assessments of friends, colleagues and the greater world.
