One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR USA Today National Bestseller 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: a collection of shorts that explore-with great affection humor and insight-the human condition in 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 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.
