Rich's latest collection, "Glory Days," features characters facing higher-stakes dilemmas. He notes, "The characters are a little older and grappling with higher-stakes dilemmas than some of the protagonists of my previous collections." This shift showcases his evolving narrative focus while still maintaining his core comedic style.
Reflecting on his earlier work, Rich candidly said, "When I was starting out as a writer, I was a lot more experimental in my approach to books. I was still trying to figure out my style and my own sensibility and taste." He acknowledges the maturation of his craft over the years.
Discussing his writing process, Rich shares, "I would say it's embarrassingly identical to my last four books, which were all collections of short stories." This highlights his awareness of his consistent stylistic choices while also hinting at a sense of irony in his creative journey.
