Thank you, Gary!!

Nathan Hill is one of my favorite authors. His books are vast and emotionally complex, but also hilarious and antic, wrestling with major social themes even as they delight in their comic characters.

Having him blurb my novel is such a profound honor, and hopefully speaks to Escape!’s DNA.

Thank you so much, Stacy!! I was beyond excited to get Nathan's blurb, because his book was definitely the target. You know what they say, shoot for the stars, and even if you miss, you'll go hurtling into the endless void of space!

I screamed when I got this blurb.

I’ve been reading Emily Nussbaum for decades now. Not only is she one of the most insightful tv critics, but she literally wrote the book on reality television with Cue the Sun!

A book quote card promoting Stephen Fishbach's novel Escape!, with a blurb from New Yorker writer Emily Nussbaum: "A thrilling, emotionally affecting deep dive into the perilous world of reality television production, in all its manipulative glory."

I was wondering this too!! At first I thought that Rizo has to be Stephen, but then Jawan has glasses and calls himself a nerd, so I think he is Stephen?

I just pre-ordered Escape! by Stephen Fishbach. I hope the protagonist is not a wimpy, little non-leader.
Congratulations on your book, @stephenfishbach.bsky.social

just watched episode 5 of alien earth, a total flex from Hawley. "oh you want a perfectly-crafted space hulk alien movie but with an even weirder new species?"

truly sublime, everything I want from the franchise.
