Interview #843: Charleston City Paper (Cover Story), Entry #1

M. L. Van Valkenburgh

Robert Jordan scores big with his tenth Wheel Of Time novel—but is he really Tolkien’s heir?

Robert Jordan has lived his whole life in Charleston, as did his forefathers. It is his home, and he is very attached to it. He and his wife (and editor) Harriet have considered a host of other cities, many with brighter lights than our own, but they always come back to Jordan’s roots.

“We’ve just liked it better than anywhere else. Other cities we’ve considered have been Paris, London, San Francisco, Melbourne—Australia, that is; I’m sure Melbourne, Florida is very nice, but I’ve never been there—but what’s stopped us from moving is, Charleston is home,” said Jordan in a recent phone interview granted prior to his whirlwind tour promoting his tenth book in the much acclaimed Wheel of Time series.
