Tom Hanks will be penning a collection of short stories revolving around his collection of typewriters, it has been revealed.
In a statement released by publisher Knopf Doubleday, the 58-year-old actor said that he has been collecting typewriters for no particular reason since 1978, both manual and portable machines dating from the thirties to the nineties, Deadline.com reported.
The 'Forest Gump' star, who has been published in the New Yorker as a fiction writer, added that the stories are not about the typewriters themselves, but rather, the stories are something that might have been written on one of them.
