Gabe Habash is the author of Stephen Florida, a 2017 novel that attracted attention for its intense, first-person portrayal of a college wrestler’s mental state. The book follows its title character through his senior wrestling season at a small college in North Dakota, and the narrative voice grows more fractured and desperate as the pressure mounts.
Stephen Florida was Habash’s debut novel and received strong reviews for its originality and the power of its voice. The book sits at the intersection of sports fiction, literary fiction, and psychological character study, offering something unusual in each of those categories. Habash worked as a reviews editor at Publishers Weekly before publishing the novel.
