Forrest Gump by Groom
The modern classic that inspired the beloved movie starring Tom Hanks. Six foot six, 242 pounds, and possessed of a scant IQ of 70, Forrest Gump is the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this classic comic tale. His early life may seem inauspicious, but when the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, it sets him on an unbelievable path that will transform him from Vietnam hero to world-class Ping-Pong player, from wrestler to entrepreneur. With a voice all his own, Forrest is telling all in a madcap romp through three decades of American history.Winston Groom, a graduate of The University of Alabama, is a novelist and historian. He is the author of fifteen books, including the best-selling Forrest Gump. He also wrote the acclaimed Vietnam War novel Better Times Than These, the prize-winning As Summers Die, and the Pulitzer Prize nominee Conversations with the Enemy. He has also written six books of American history. Mr. Groom recently won the 2011 Harper Lee Award for a Distinguished Alabama Writer. He lives with his wife and daughter in Point Clear, Alabama.
Allen Barra has been a columnist and feature writer for the Wall Street Journal since 1995. He is the author of The Last Coach: A Life of Paul Bear Bryant.
