Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Product DescriptionNATIONAL BESTSELLER A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, USA Today A collection of first-rate short stories (The New York Times) that explore-with great affection, humor, and insight-the human condition in all its foibles.A small-town newspaper columnist with old-fashioned views of the modern world. A World War II veteran grappling with his emotional and physical scars. A second-rate actor plunged into sudden stardom and a whirlwind press junket. Four friends traveling to the moon in a rocketship built in the backyard. These are just some of the stories that Tom Hanks captures in his first work of fiction.The stories are linked by one thing: in each of them, a typewriter plays a part, sometimes minor, sometimes central.To many, typewriters represent a level of craftsmanship, beauty, and individuality that is harder and harder to find in the modern world. In these stories, Hanks gracefully reaches that typewriter-worthy level. By turns whimsical, witty, and moving, Uncommon Type establishes him as a welcome and wonderful new voice in contemporary fiction.ReviewOne of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, USA TodayWonderful. -NPRFirst-rate. -Janet Maslin, The New York TimesFunny, moving, deftly surprising. -Carl Hiaasen[Hanks] is a delightful storyteller. -Los Angeles TimesWise and hilarious. -Steve MartinAccomplished and delightful. . . . Terrific. . . . Hanks proves his bona fides as a serious scribe. -USA TodayOffers heartfelt charm. . . . Even when Hanks writes about somber subjects . . . he finds a sweet spot. -NPRThese stories are a hit. . . . There is life here, and humour, along with evocative moments of reflection on the state of the American dream. -Financial TimesReading Tom Hankss Uncommon Type is like finding out that Alice Munro is also the greatest actress of our time. -Ann PatchettDelightful. . . . Moving. . . . Filled with warmth, comedy and wisdom, this companionable collection is as appealing as its author. -BookPageAs charming and as (the descriptor has become unavoidable) all-American as the author himself. -TimeA collection that showcases [Hankss] love of words and typewriters. -O, The Oprah MagazineThere is often a powerful sense of other lives imagined at a level that goes deeper than writerly research. -The GuardianA debut short story collection thats as engaging it is charming. -PasteThe central quality to Toms writing is a kind of poignant playfulness. Its exactly what you hope from him, except you wish he were sitting in your home, reading it aloud to you, one story at a time. -Mindy KalingSkillfully crafted. . . . Smart and equally heartfelt, this collection is a must-read for fans of the actor and literary lovers alike. -BustleSpiked with humor, whimsy and insight. . . . Mr. Hanks creates a strong sense of people, places and possibilities. . . . The short stories in Uncommon Type often explore what might have been, what was before (and after) the divorce, or the move, or the press junket gone awry. -Pittsburgh Post-GazetteFunny, wise, gloriously inventive and humane. Tom Hanks sees inside people-a wary divorcee, a billionaire trading desire for disaster, a boy witnessing his fathers infidelity, a motley crew shooting for the moon-with such acute empathy and good humour wed follow him anywhere. -Anna Funder, author of Stasiland and All That I AmTom Hanks is a natural born storyteller. . . . He belongs to a tradition of American storytellers that includes Mark Twain or O Henry although there is a range of work in Uncommon Type that defies such a catch-all definition. . . . There is an ease in his writing and a pleasure in the reading. -The Scotland HeraldCreative and funny. . . . Cut[s] right down to the bone of human nature. -Austin ChronicleThe stories in Uncommon Type range from the hilarious to the deeply touching. . . . All demonstrate a joy in writing, a pleasure in communicating an. Seller Inventory # DADAX1101911948
