Titel: <\/strong>Uncommon type<\/p>\n
F\u00f6rfattare:<\/strong> Tom Hanks<\/div>\n
Spr\u00e5k:<\/strong> Engelska<\/div>\n
Sidantal: <\/strong>405<\/div>\n

F\u00f6rlag<\/strong>: Random House UK<\/p>\n

Format:<\/strong> H\u00e4ftad<\/div>\n
Utgiven: <\/strong>2017<\/div>\n

Handling: ”<\/strong><\/strong>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 plunged into sudden stardom and a whirlwind press junket. A small-town newspaper columnist with old-fashioned views of the modern world. A woman adjusting to life in a new neighborhood after her divorce. Four friends going to the moon and back in a rocket ship constructed in the backyard. A teenage surfer stumbling into his father’s secret life.<\/em><\/p>\n

These are just some of the people and situations that Tom Hanks explores in his first work of fiction, a collection of stories that dissects, with great affection, humour, and insight, the human condition and all its foibles. The stories are linked by one thing: in each of them, a typewriter plays a part, sometimes minor, sometimes central. To many, typewriters represent a level of craftsmanship, beauty and individuality that is harder and harder to find in the modern world. In his stories, Mr Hanks gracefully reaches that typewriter-worthy level.”<\/em><\/p>\n

N\u00e4r jag h\u00f6rde att Tom Hanks ska skrivit en bok blev jag v\u00e4ldigt intresserad. Jag har alltid tyckt om han som sk\u00e5despelare och var f\u00f6rst\u00e5s nyfiken om han kunde skriva ocks\u00e5. Boken Uncommon type<\/em> \u00e4r en novellsamling av diverse olika historier, med ett genomg\u00e5nende tema: alla inkluderar en skrivmaskin, i st\u00f6rre eller mindre bem\u00e4rkelse. De f\u00f6rsta historierna f\u00e5ngade l\u00e4tt in mig, speciellt en novell om julafton hos en krigsveteran. Den var s\u00e5 himla fin!<\/p>\n

Sen h\u00e4nde det n\u00e5got, historierna k\u00e4ndes f\u00f6r lika (v\u00e4ldigt ofta utspelade de sig p\u00e5 70-talet eller bak\u00e5t i tiden), gav mig inte riktigt n\u00e5got, f\u00e5ngade inte in mig. Jag kv\u00e4vde g\u00e4spningar och tittade p\u00e5 klockan. Eftersom noveller \u00e4r s\u00e5 korta s\u00e5 beh\u00f6ver de ha ganska sprakande inneh\u00e5ll f\u00f6r att h\u00e5lla intresset uppe. Eller s\u00e5 \u00e4r jag ocks\u00e5 v\u00e4ldigt ovan att l\u00e4sa noveller och kanske inte en genre jag h\u00e5ller mig till. Jag minns att det var lika problematiskt n\u00e4r jag f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte l\u00e4sa ”Let it snow<\/em>”, efter f\u00f6rrsta ber\u00e4ttelsen ville jag h\u00e5lla mig till den och inte alls l\u00e4sa om n\u00e5got annat! (Det var Rainbow Rowell som skrivit den storyn). Man f\u00f6rbinder sig inte lika mycket till boken n\u00e4r det hoppar fr\u00e5n sak till sak.<\/p>\n

Hanks spr\u00e5k var helt okej, men f\u00f6r mycket amerikanska referenser f\u00f6r min del, jag k\u00e4nde mig som en utb\u00f6ling som f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte f\u00f6rst\u00e5 mig p\u00e5 alla amerikanska termer. Omslaget var j\u00e4ttefint (min bild inte s\u00e5 v\u00e4rst fin..) och stilrent. Jag kan inte annat tycka \u00e4n att boken var ”mjeh”.<\/p>\n
