- Best-selling author Ken Follett discusses his new epic novel "Fall of Giants" with WABE's Valerie Jackson at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. Valerie interviews Follett before a live audience for her program "Between the Lines."
Attempting to tell the tale of the 20th century is the literary equivalent of surmounting Everest. Most authors likely wouldn't even make it out of base camp. But Ken Follett is a breed apart. Since publishing his first work more than three decades ago, the British novelist has exhibited a sweeping vision that has helped him become one of the world's most popular storytellers, with more than 100 million copies of his books, including 1989's The Pillars of the Earth and its 2007 sequel, World Without End, sold around the globe over the years.
Love his writing and attention to historical detail. It's liken to a wonderful history class you never want to leave.🤓👌🏻
One of my favorite writers!
Ah, I thought perhaps the musical pursuits written about in Giants was more than simply the author connecting his story to the popular culture of the era. The lad has a long passion for music, especially the sort that Maud played in the nightclub as she fell down the class structure after the war. Such a worthy read. Reminded me of Mr. Chute's grade-10 history class. He'd have enjoyed Follett's Century Series.
Does the interviewer keep saying 'The Pillows of the Earth'? She also says 'Fitz Hubert,' and at the end she called him 'Ken Fallett' 43:40. Quite funny!
But she's charming, and thank you for a good interview.
As of the Fitz Hubert she said fitzherbert as in Fitz
As in Mozart she said Muzart?
+CaptainPond idk
Pillows of the Earth
Might have enoyed this but the audio is too faint, even on full-blast.
Pillars! Pillars! Pillars!!!!🙄
