Ken Follett: Fall of Giants Source

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.
