À propos de ce contenu audio

 A collection of seventeen wonderful short stories showing that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is as talented a writer as he is an actor.

A gentle Eastern European immigrant arrives in New York City after his family and his life have been torn apart by his country's civil war. A man who loves to bowl rolls a perfect game--and then another and then another and then many more in a row until he winds up ESPN's newest celebrity, and he must decide if the combination of perfection and celebrity has ruined the thing he loves. An eccentric billionaire and his faithful executive assistant venture into America looking for acquisitions and discover a down and out motel, romance, and a bit of real life. These are just some of the tales Tom Hanks tells in this first collection of his short stories. They are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for the millions and millions of Tom Hanks fans, an absolute must-have!

Featuring additional performances by Peter Gerety, Peter Scolari, Cecily Strong, Holland Taylor, and Wilmer Valderrama on “Stay With Us.” Anthologies et nouvelles Fiction

Le plus pertinent
Apparently simple, but actually complex and intricate, Hanks' short stories say so much more than what is on the surface. As a writer, he has a real sensitivity for human relationships, and talks about life with a hint of nostalgia (but then again, maybe not? It's not that clear cut...).
Read them more than once. You won't find the same thing in them. Enjoyable. Thought provoking. Good.
