Gump & Co. Collection for Men

Forrest Gump, the endearing protagonist of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel, captured the hearts of readers and won the hearts of moviegoers, with the blockbuster film adaptation winning six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Now, the long-awaited sequel to the book, hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read," brings Forrest back, a little older and wiser in his unique way, as he navigates the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s.

Whenever Forrest finds himself stumped, he visits Jenny's grave, where she tells him that she's always rooting for him. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has gone bust, leaving Forrest flat broke and sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint. However, fate has a way of intervening, and a fresh opportunity to play championship football puts him back in the limelight and back in the money.

But as Forrest's remarkable, touching, and utterly comic odyssey continues, fate once again takes an unexpected turn. Forrest soon finds himself out on the road, selling phony encyclopedias and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. Along the way, Forrest embarks on an explosive attempt at hog farming, concocts his own dubious recipe for adding life to New Coke, and encounters Oliver North of the Iran-Contra affair, all while continuing to unwittingly twist the nose of history.

Through it all, Forrest remains a unique and endearing character, his naivety and sincerity providing a refreshing counterpoint to the greed and instant gratification that define the 1980s. As he navigates the complexities of life, Forrest's remarkable journey continues to captivate readers, offering a poignant and humorous exploration of the human experience.
