阿甘正传是美国作家温斯特·葛鲁的作品，本书以荒谬的风格，通过傻子阿甘的视角，反讽美国的社会问题。 阿甘是常人眼中的弱智和白痴，但他天性善良单纯，加上天赋异禀，使他先后成为大学美式足球明星、越战英雄、世界级乒乓球运动员、摔跤选手、国际象棋大师和商业大亨，既获得肯尼迪总统的接见，约翰逊总统的授勋，甚至还无意间发现了水门事件的真相。阿甘“轰轰烈烈”的传奇一生，看似茺诞不经，其实正是1950年代到70年代美国历史与社会的缩影，透过阿甘的眼睛，也让我们看到了世态的险恶复杂与庸俗市侩，而更觉人性真诚的可贵。About the AuthorWINSTON GROOM, author of seven books, wrote the acclaimed Vietnam War novel BetterTimes Than These as well as the prize-winning As Summers Die, and coauthored Conversationswith the Enemy, which was nominated for a 1984 Pulitzer Prize.
