Today I’m reading “Three Exhausting Weeks” (linked) by Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks is a writer based in California. He’s also a fairly successful actor, with film credits in Forrest Gump, Splash, and Big. And if you’ll remember way back to the beginning of the pandemic, when he announced that he and his wife contracted COVID, we all knew it was serious.
This story comes from Hanks’s debut short story collection, Uncommon Type, which is inspired by his typewriter collection. Another fun fact: Forrest Gump has a typewriter collection. It was a bestseller, of course, because Tom Hanks is a national treasure.
Happy Hanukkah!
