Charlie Rose's Wednesday, October 13, 2010 Conversation with David Grossman

CHARLIE ROSE: David Grossman is here. He’s one of Israel’s
preeminent authors. He writes both fiction and nonfiction. His novel "Sea
under Love" explored the Holocaust through the eyes of a child. In "The
Yellow Wind" he reported on life in the occupied territories in the late
1980s.

When the Intifada broke out in 1988, his bestselling book was called
"Prophetic." His latest novel has just been published in the United States.
It is called "To the End of the Land." I am pleased to have David Grossman
back at this table. Welcome.
