{"product_id":"hanks-tom-uncommon-type-9781101911945","title":"Uncommon Type","description":"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.","brand":"Random House LLC US","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53372446835030,"sku":"9781101911945-G","price":3.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781101911945_1_e5029669-6ff3-4bf2-b041-65e8ce497b1f.jpg?v=1778039047","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/hanks-tom-uncommon-type-9781101911945","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
