Product details
A Times Book of the Year, this collection features seventeen wonderful short stories that showcase Tom Hanks as a talented writer, as well as a two-time Oscar winner. The stories include a hectic, funny sexual affair between two best friends, a World War II veteran dealing with his emotional and physical scars, a second-rate actor suddenly thrust into stardom and a whirlwind press junket, a small-town newspaper columnist with old-fashioned views of the modern world, and a woman adjusting to life in a new neighborhood after her divorce. Additionally, there are four friends traveling to the moon and back in a rocket ship built in the backyard and a teenage surfer discovering his father's secret life. These narratives illustrate the human condition and its complexities with great affection, humor, and insight.
