Tom Hanks, actor of films as emblematic as'Forrest Gump ',' Saving Private Ryan ' o 'Castaway'Among many others, he has made his debut relatively recently as a writer, specifically of short stories.
We already knew about Tom Hanks love for old typewriters, has a collection quite extensive of them (more than a hundred), and he often uses them to write typewritten letters and send them to his fans. He also used them for this book of short stories that he will publish in October. Yes, we know that there is still a long way to go, but whoever admires his work as an actor, as is my case, will be looking forward to that month to see if as a writer he is as good as playing film roles. We will have to give it a try, right?
Your book
In his book we can enjoy a total of 17 short stories and the peculiarity is that each of them is related to a typewriter different from those that the actor owns and we mentioned earlier.
Although we know little about the details of this book, we do know the exact date of its publication: October 24 under the seal of Alfred A. Knopf. It will be on sale initially in United States y United Kingdom, although the publishing rights have already been sold to 7 different countries, including Brazil and China.
Tom Hanks has taken two years to write these 17 stories, which according to his editor, have been written while the actor was also filming different films: in Berlin, in the US, on airplanes, trains, film sets, hotels, etc ... They say that inspiration and muses can appear anywhere, and for Tom Hanks it was not going to be less. As we have learned, among the 17 stories, there is one about an immigrant arriving in New York City, another about a famous bowler, and one about an eccentric millionaire.
And while we wait for his first publication, will Tom Hanks be already immersed in his second book?
