Whenever I really get stumped, I go visit Jenny's grave. She tells me she's always rooting or me. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust and now Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint. As always in his eventful life, change is never far off...and when the opportunity to play championship football comes his way once more, Forrest is back in the limelight and n the money. But fate is fickle, 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; and encounter with Oliver North of the Iran-Contra affair; and a chance yet again to unwittingly twist the nose of history.
