He was 77. He died in his sleep, most likely from a heart attack, his stepson Frederick Helmsing said. Mr. Groom had published three well-regarded novels and a nonfiction finalist for a Pulitzer Prize when he wrote the book that would define him as a writer and turn the Gumpian phrase "life is like a box of chocolates" into a modern-day proverb. Forrest Gump tells the picaresque adventures of an Alabama man who stumbles through contemporary American history with an IQ of 70 and a headful of folksy wisdom. The novel sold respectably and earned good reviews. BETTER TIMES THAN THESE was published on January 1, 1978. ISBN: 0-671-4000-7X & 978-0671-4000-71. BS13750.
