A Conversation with Tom Hanks
Perhaps it's never crossed your mind. Perhaps it’s never seemed like a possibility. But you do, in fact, want to be in the same room as Tom Hanks. Think about it: He's tall, unproblematic, and probably starred in a movie you love to love. He posts inscrutable stuff like haikus about stranded articles of clothing, and, in a delightfully dad-like gesture, signs all of his posts "Hanx." He has also won some Academy Awards or whatever. Doesn't matter! He is Tom Hanks! Another thing Tom Hanks does is write books. His latest, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece, follows the production of a comic book-turned-superhero film and vacillates between three time periods. In Hanks' (Hanx's?) own words, "Even the foolish moments are some kind of stunt I've pulled or mistake I've survived."
