Forrest Gump captured our eharts in the New York Times bestselling novel Forrest Gump. Now he returns in this long-awaited sequel. 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. From encounters with Oliver North, to a recipe for new Coke, Forrest has a chance yet again to twist the nose of history.

"Let me say this: Everbody makes mistakes, which is why they put a rubber mat around spitoons."

Work Description

Forrest Gump is back! A little older, and wiser in his unique way, he is still running through the kaleidoscopic events of our times - and straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s.

The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint when Gump & Co. begins. As always in Forrest's easy-come-easy-go life, a change in the weather is never far off... and when the opportunity to play championship football comes his way once more, Forrest is back in the limelight and in the money.

But fate is a fickle lady, 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 Ollie North; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.
