Uncommon Type Some Stories | Tom Hanks

Featuring seventeen short stories, this book includes the tale of a gentle Eastern European immigrant arrives in New York City after his family and his life have been torn apart by his country's civil war.

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.
