When a scandal is captured on camera at a charity event, he gets his shot, on a remote island with seven other contestants. Each has been cast as a type—Ruddy the bully, Miriam the nerd, Ashley the love interest—but every one of them is more than they seem.The contestants’ goal seems simple—survive the wild, build a raft, win treasure. But Beck Bermann, a disgraced reality producer, sees them as characters in her own redemption arc.As the schemes and strategies spiral out, breakout camps sabotage each other, and rival producers struggle to control the storyline. Soon, the question becomes less about who will win than who will make it out in one piece. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/d6ab1560-bec0-11f0-8969-9b64eb3b1783-rimg-w618-h740-dc141618-gmir.jpg Stephen Fishbach is a Pushcart Prize-winning writer and former television executive.

Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore." } ] } ] ```
