What a fun collection of stories, read by the author (he of so many enviable talents). The title comes from the linking thread to the stories - that they mention a typewriter somewhere - but the stories themselves are little slices of life: past, present and future. As always with short stories, there were some that appealed to me more than others. My least favourite was the final one unfortunately, as it would have been nice to end the book on a high. I particularly liked the three stories featuring the unnamed narrator, Anna, Stephen Wong, and M-Dash. But the ones about the veteran on Christmas Eve and the divorced mother moving to a new neighbourhood were also particularly strong and the three journalist columns were entertaining.
