Short Stories by Tom Hanks

Remember about, oh...eleven days ago when I posted about the short story Tom Hanks published in The New Yorker, Alan Bean Plus Four? I teased that more about Tom and his short stories were to come and, well, here it is! Alfred A. Knopf Publishing announced that it will publish a collection of short stories that Tom Hanks will write! Said Knopf, "The book will be a collection of stories loosely connected to photographs of typewriters from Hanks' personal collection." Said Hanks, "I've been collecting typewriters for no particular reason since 1978 - both manual and portable machines dating from the thirties to the nineties. The stories are not about the typewriters themselves, but rather, the stories are something that might have been written one of them." Can't wait! Any book from Hanks is one America needs.
