"There were torrential downpours for days. Everyone was having the worst experience of their lives; everyone was huddled in the shelter, weeping, clinging to each other for warmth, and I got violently ill. I had to strip off my clothes and leave them in the shelter to keep them somewhat dry, go out into the storm, and be violently sick."
Stephen Fishbach draws on experience as a former television executive and two-time Survivor contestant to build Escape!, a debut novel about eight contestants who must escape an isolated island to claim a million-dollar prize. The novel centers on reality-TV redemption and examines who holds power once the cameras stop. After relocating to DC from Los Angeles during the pandemic to be nearer his wife's family, Fishbach is emphasizing a public identity beyond reality-television and expanding into podcasting.
