This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the first half of UNCOMMON TYPE by Tom Hanks. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “To many, typewriters represent a level of craftsmanship, beauty, and individuality that is harder and harder to find in the modern world. In these stories, Hanks gracefully reaches that typewriter-worthy level. By turns whimsical, witty, and moving, UNCOMMON TYPE establishes him as a welcome and wonderful new voice in contemporary fiction.”
