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.
