Stephen Florida, published in 2017, is Gabe Habash’s only novel to date. The book tells the story of a college senior wrestler at a fictional North Dakota school whose single-minded focus on winning a national championship pushes him to the edge of sanity. The first-person narration captures a mind that is sharp, funny, and increasingly unstable.
The novel stood out on its release for treating collegiate wrestling with literary seriousness and for its unusual narrative voice. It is a compact, focused book that stays close to one character’s perspective throughout, making it an intense reading experience.
