It told the story of the French high-wire walker Philippe Petit, who strung a cable between the two towers of the World Trade Center in August 1974. Petit then spent an hour walking, sitting and dancing on the cable as awestruck spectators watched from the streets below."I didn't want to just tell the story of the walk — I wanted the book to be the walk between cardboard covers," he said in his speech accepting the award.
