天才打字机 – Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks

这是美国著名影星汤姆•汉克斯的第一本小说集，17个异乎寻常的故事，每个故事中都会出现一台早已淹没在时光里的老式打字机。

一个宅男被高标准的完美女友折腾三周后终于成功让她嫌恶自己，摆脱噩梦；一个古怪的亿万富翁隐藏身份到美国偏远小镇寻梦；一个三线小演员一夜成名，三天后又瞬间过气；四个朋友结伴去月球探险，并安全返家；一个男孩在生日那天突然发现父亲出轨的证据，一个富可敌国的商人冒着生命危险穿越到1939年，又在那里一见钟情……

汉克斯以其演员的幽默和洞察力剖析了现代社会人类的尴尬处境及其所有弱点，很多细节令人哑然失笑。在这些故事中，古董打字机都扮演着重要的角色，它代表失传的技巧、被遗忘的美感、从容的精神和优雅的气度。投

A collection of seventeen wonderful short stories showing that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is as talented a writer as he is an actor.

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. A man who loves to bowl rolls a perfect game–and then another and then another and then many more in a row until he winds up ESPN’s newest celebrity, and he must decide if the combination of perfection and celebrity has ruined the thing he loves. An eccentric billionaire and his faithful executive assistant venture into America looking for acquisitions and discover a down and out motel, romance, and a bit of real life. These are just some of the tales Tom Hanks tells in this first collection of his short stories. They are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for the millions and millions of Tom Hanks fans, an absolute must-have!
