"Soy idiota desde que nací". Así se presenta Forrest Gump, el simpático y avispado héroe de esta divertidisima novela. Pero aunque "ser idiota no es ninguna bicoca", él no se queja, pues ha vivido una vida bastante interesante: estrella de fútbol universitario, héroe de la guerra de Vietnam, as del tenis de mesa, campeón de lucha libre, magnate de los negocios. Una sucesión de alocadas peripecias que hacen que el mundo ya no sea el mismo una vez lo hemos visto a través de los ojos de Forrest Gump.
Forrest Gump captured our hearts in the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Forrest Gump, and in the blockbuster film, winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. Now he returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read." A little older, and wiser in his unique way, Forrest is still running -- this time straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. Whenever I really get stumped, I go visit Jenny's grave. She tells me she's always rooting for me. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and now Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint, when a fresh opportunity to play championship football puts him back in the limelight -- and in the money. But fate turns fickle again, and he's soon out on the road selling phony encyclopedias and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey has just begun: in store for him is an explosive attempt at hog farming; his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke; an encounter with Oliver North of the Iran-Contra affair; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.
