$24.95
by Tom Hanks (Author)
Del actor ganador del Premio de la Academia y autor del best seller Tipos singulares, llega una nueva novela sobre la realización de una película de acción de superhéroes multimillonaria repleta de estrellas... y de los humildes cómics que lo inspiraron.
Una novela divertida, conmovedora y maravillosamente estimulante, que captura al mismo tiempo los cambios en Estados Unidos y la cultura norteamericana desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
"Wild, ambitious and exceptionally enjoyable." --Matt Haig, best-selling author The Midnight Library, The Humans and Reasons to Stay Alive Part One of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for twenty-three years. Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero. Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie. Cue the cast: We meet the film's extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the gofer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera. Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story--all created by Tom Hanks himself--including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel's "major motion picture masterpiece."
