About the Book

THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE 1994 OSCAR-WINNING FILM STARRING TOM HANKS. 'Rollicking, bawdy' People 'Superbly controlled satire' Washington Post 'Joyously madcap' Publishers Weekly Discover the bestselling novel that inspired the classic Oscar-winning film. _______________________________ It's Forrest Gump as you've never seen him before, but just as lovable as ever. At 6'6\", 240 pounds, Forrest Gump is a difficult man to ignore, so follow Forrest from the football dynasties of Bear Bryant to the Vietnam War, from encounters with Presidents Johnson and Nixon to powwows with Chairman Mao. Go with Forrest to Harvard University, to a Hollywood movie set, on a professional wrestling tour, and into space on the oddest NASA mission ever. The wonderfully warm, savagely barbed, and hilariously funny novel that inspired iconic film starring Tom Hanks. ______________________________ What readers are saying- 'A brilliant read' 'Loved the book just as much as I loved the film' 'Very well written and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish'

He was also the author of the No.1 New York Times bestsellers Forrest Gump and Gumpisms- The Wit and Wisdom of Forrest Gump. Winston Groom lived in New York City and Point Clear, Alabama. He died in September 2020.

Review :
Forrest Gump is line bred out of Voltaire and Huck Finn; its humour is wild and coarse, a satire right on the money. It is not the less honest for being so funny, for bringing the woebegone archangels of our culture and history to judgement. Anyone who doesn't read this book deserves to spend the winter in North Dakota A superbly controlled satire Rollicking, bawdy... A good time... Poking fun at everything Winston Groom has created the ideal citizen for the modern world - a perfect idiot Joyously madcap Part Candide, part Huck Finn and a whole lot of Andy Griffith, [Gump] makes his case in a voice all his own Has many pleasures to offer
