Title: “Books in Order: Unlocking the Literary Art of Winston Groom”
An Intriguing Tale Of The Wordsmith: Winston Groom
Hailing from the beautiful shores of America, Winston Groom wore many hats during his lifetime–author, journalist, and Vietnam War veteran, yet it is in the realm of fiction and non-fiction writing that he is most revered. Hot on the heels of his aspiration to tread in his father’s footsteps in law, fate guided him down an enchantingly different path. Embracing the art of weaving stories, he walked into the arena of authorship, with a pen as his sword and words his shield.
In the ’60s, Groom swapped his scribe and diary for military fatigues, serving in the U.S Army during the Vietnam War. Groom returned, polished his passion with his encounters and experience, landing back on the writing sphere as a more seasoned scribe, with tales sprouting from reality’s grasp and his rich imagination. Reflecting his unique writing style, his most renowned work, Forrest Gump, unravelled an ocean of readers, selling a staggering 1.7 million copies globally. However, the charm of the novel skyrocketed further when it inspired an Academy Awards winning film by Robert Zemeckis, etching the story and its author indelibly into the annals of literature and cinema.
