As in is predecessor, Gump manages to be present at momentous events; his impressions of them, leavened by his naivete, make up this book.

Now he returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read."

She tells me she's always rooting for me.

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.
