There are few actors as widely beloved as Tom Hanks. Hanks has acted in over 75 films in his 46-year career, winning the best actor Academy Award two years in a row, for “Philadelphia” and “Forrest Gump.” And more recently, he's the author of the short story collection “Uncommon Type” and the novel “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece.”What is the source of Hanks's near-universal admiration? In playing roles including Chesley Sullenberger, Mister Rogers and World War II heroes, Hanks reflects back to audiences what we could be at our very best. He's an uncannily wise interpreter of America: what our country has been, and what it could be if we activated our potential to be kind, compassionate, even heroic toward one another.That's just one of many topics we traverse in this truly delightful conversation. We also discuss how working on typewriters helps fuel Hanks's creativity, why there's such a huge global appetite for superhero stories, why America has become so cynical and how Hanks endeavors to defy that cynicism, how Hanks's complicated family upbringing influences how he approaches his film roles, what America learned about itself — and didn't — through Vietnam, Watergate and other historical events, how Hanks understands the complexity of heroic figures he's played, why he views kindness as an active practice and more.Book Recommendations:Beartown by Fredrik BackmanThe Swerve by Stephen GreenblattTrust by Hernan DiazListen to this podcast in New York Times Audio, our new iOS app for news subscribers.

#BrowseBook EP. 18 กับรีวิวหนังสือรวมเรื่องสั้นเล่มแรกของ Tom Hank กับหนังสือ Uncommon Type พิมพ์(ไม่)นิยม และวลีเด็ดจากในเล่มกับประโยคที่ว่า “ไม่ว่าชีวิตจะมีปัญหาหรือเรื่องปวดหัวแค่ไหน ความเงียบตอนค่ำคืนนี่มันเยียวยา”

In our latest episode of SAL/on air, we hear from actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks, who joined us at McCaw Hall in December of 2017. Seattle’s beloved librarian, Nancy Pearl, was in conversation with Hanks, who shared with us how he came to write his first book, the short story collection "Uncommon Type," plus all about his obsession with vintage typewriters and highlights from his prolific career.

Tom Hanks sits down with Gayle King to discuss his first collection of fiction, Uncommon Type, a New York Times bestseller. He reflects candidly on the writing and the real world it reflects. The conversation was recorded on November 1, 2018 in front of a live audience at New York's 92nd Street Y.

In today's episode, we talk about all our favorite books so far in 2018, whether rereads "count" as favorites, and whether the reading experience can be just as good as the book itself. We drop some amazing middle grade titles, some classics (let's be real...this is all Katie), and gush about how wonderful you all have been since we launched the podcast.  Books mentioned:  Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough A Gathering of Shadows by V.

The one and only Mr. Tom Hanks is here, and he’s caffeinated and ready to rock this podcast—with melodic typing accompaniment, no less. I couldn’t have chosen a better guest host than Danielle LaPorte to join me in perhaps our most enjoyable conversation yet. From the first seconds of Tom's hilarious/unorthodox entrance, we do our best to keep up with one of the world’s most creative minds. But as he soon learns, we ladies have several psychological tricks up our sleeve, and even get him to gut laugh a few times (go, D!). The 17 fictional stories in Tom’s book, Uncommon Type: Some Stories (Knopf), are whimsical, satirical, surprising, funny, and deeply touching. The characters and worlds he creates stay with you. Change you. Cause you to see things, you’d never thought of before. According to Kirkus: “While these stories have the all-American sweetness, humor, and heart we associate with his screen roles, Hanks writes like a writer, not a movie star.” Steve Martin says: “It turns out that Tom Hanks is also a wise and hilarious writer with an endlessly surprising mind. Damn it.” Just what you’d hope to find from this Oscar-winning (2x) actor, screenwriter, director, producer, and musician Renaissance man who has previously published pieces in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, but for whom this is his first collection of fiction. We can only hope it won’t be his last. Pull up a chair and sit a spell as we mix up our usual format a tad and experience the interviewing time of our lives. And P.S.—We just might get Tom to comment on our fantasy of he & Oprah running for office. God, I love this gig. I’m so happy you’re here. xx Next month: I interview novelist Dean Koontz (500 million books sold) about his new thriller, The Whispering Room, from the NYT bestselling Jane Hawk series. The legendary screenwriter/story + dialogue coach, Robert McKee will be back, this time in the co-host chair. Subscribe here so you'll know the minute it posts.
