Krátky popis
A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA collection of seventeen wonderful short
stories showing that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is as talented
a writer as he is an actor. A hectic, funny sexual affair between
two best friends. A World War II veteran dealing with his emotional
and physical scars.A second-rate actor plunged into sudden stardom
and a whirlwind press junket. A small-town newspaper columnist with
old-fashioned views of the modern world. A woman adjusting to life
in a new neighborhood after her divorce.Four friends going to the
moon and back in a rocket ship constructed in the backyard. A
teenage surfer stumbling into his father's secret life. These are
just some of the people and situations that Tom Hanks explores in
his first work of fiction, a collection of stories that dissects,
with great affection, humour and insight, the human condition and
all its foibles.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 his stories, Mr Hanks gracefully reaches that
typewriter-worthy level.Known for his honesty and sensitivity as an
actor, Mr Hanks brings both those characteristics to his writing.
Alternatingly whimsical, moving and occasionally melancholy,
Uncommon Type is a book that will delight as well as surprise his
millions of fans. It also establishes him as a welcome and
wonderful new voice in contemporary fiction, a voice that
perceptively delves beneath the surface of friendships, families,
love and normal, everyday behaviour.
