Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society

The Book Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society proves that short stories really are amazing to read.

Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society

by 
Ross Wilcox (Goodreads Author)
 4.50  ·   Rating details ·  24 ratings  ·  11 reviews
A battle of wills emerges when one of the suicide survivors in the Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society turns the meetings into a yoga class. A small town is gripped by a lawn ornamentation craze. A woman dresses up as Paul Bunyan to rob banks to pay her ailing mother’s exorbitant nursing home bills. A married couple decides to 3-D print a son…and his entire childhood.

Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society is a funny and poignant story collection about everyday people confronting everyday challenges with escalating absurdity. Reminiscent of the work of Aimee Bender, Ross Wilcox’s stories will make you view the mundane in an entirely new way.





The Book

With the Golden Gate Jumper Survivors Society we stayed in San Francisco with the book reviews. 

This time there were no poems or thoughts but short stories. The book really proves again that I really do like short stories. Not a single one is the same! They were bizarre, funny, extreme and excellently written by the author. 

 

The Author

Ross Wilcox is a brilliant author and I really want to see and read more work from him.
