Anonymous writer behind Goldman Sachs Elevator Twitter account gets book deal
For years, the anonymous poster behind the Twitter account (Goldman Sachs Elevator Gossip) has been sharing the funny and sometimes darkly comic comments overheard in 鈥� well, in an elevator at the major investment banking company.
And now the unknown author has a book deal with Simon & Schuster to release a book said to be titled 鈥淪traight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance and Excess in the World of Investment Banking.鈥� According to , the book will be released under the name "J.T. Stone."聽
The book will be 鈥渢he definitive exposure of investment banking culture 鈥β� shedding new light on a world that is far more abhorrent, and yet, way more entertaining than people can imagine,鈥� according to the .
The @GSElevator Twitter account currently has more than 600,000 followers and the person behind the handle encourages others to submit conversations they overhear in the elevators as well.
Some are simply humorous, such as the recent tweet 鈥淪hut up about the weather. It's cold everywhere. We're all cold. We get it.鈥� But other tweets paint a less flattering portrait of Goldman Sachs employees, including a conversation in which one worker tells another, 鈥淵our place in history depends on what you do for others, not what others do for you鈥� and the second replies, 鈥淚 want a place in East Hampton, not history.鈥�
(If you decide to check out the Twitter account, be aware of language and some inappropriate content.)
鈥淪traight to Hell鈥� is scheduled for release this October.
