Uncommon type : some stories / Tom Hanks ; photographs by Kevin Twomey.
"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.

These are just some of the tales Tom Hanks tells in this first collection of his short stories ..."--Publisher annotation.
