Popis knihy

Wonderful. -NPR First-rate. -Janet Maslin, The New York Times Funny, moving, deftly surprising. -Carl Hiaasen [Hanks] is a delightful storyteller. -Los Angeles Times Wise and hilarious. -Steve Martin Accomplished and delightful. . . . Terrific. . . . Hanks proves his bona fides as a serious scribe. -USA Today Offers heartfelt charm. . . . Even when Hanks writes about somber subjects . . . he finds a sweet spot. -NPR These stories are a hit. . . . There is life here, and humour, along with evocative moments of reflection on the state of the American dream. -Financial Times Reading Tom Hanks's Uncommon Type is like finding out that Alice Munro is also the greatest actress of our time. -Ann Patchett Delightful. . . . Moving. . . . Filled with warmth, comedy and wisdom, this companionable collection is as appealing as its author. -BookPage As charming and as (the descriptor has become unavoidable) all-American as the author himself. -Time A collection that showcases [Hanks's] love of words and typewriters. -O, The Oprah Magazine There is often a powerful sense of other lives imagined at a level that goes deeper than writerly research. -The Guardian A debut short story collection that's as engaging it is charming. -Paste The central quality to Tom's writing is a kind of poignant playfulness. It's 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 Kaling Skillfully crafted. . . . Smart and equally heartfelt, this collection is a must-read for fans of the actor and literary lovers alike. -Bustle Spiked 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-Gazette Funny, wise, gloriously inventive and humane. Tom Hanks sees inside people-a wary divorcee, a billionaire trading desire for disaster, a boy witnessing his father's infidelity, a motley crew shooting for the moon-with such acute empathy and good humour we'd follow him anywhere. -Anna Funder, author of Stasiland and All That I Am Tom 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 Herald Creative and funny. . . . Cut[s] right down to the bone of human nature. -Austin Chronicle The stories in Uncommon Type range from the hilarious to the deeply touching. . . . All demonstrate a joy in writing, a pleasure in communicating an intensely American sense of atmosphere, friendship, life and family that is every bit as smart, engaging and humane as the man himself. -Stephen Fry Superbly observed. . . . [There is a] variety of voices here, all of them masterfully hewn and cosily embedded. -Irish Independent Delightful. . . . Hanks's prose is impressive, with a strong voice and stylistic flair. . . . Fluent, convincing and confident. -The Times (London)
