TOM HANKS - GEBRAUCHT UNCOMMON TYPE - PREIS VOM...

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.
