Margaret Atwood: An Interview on Future Library, 2014
The prizewinning author, poet, essayist and literary critic Margaret Atwood has been named as the first writer to contribute to Future Library, Katie Paterson’s 100 year artwork in Oslo, Norway. A thousand trees have been planted in Nordmarka, a forest just outside Oslo, which will supply paper for a special anthology of books to be printed in one hundred years time. Between now and then, one writer every year will contribute a text, with the writings held in trust, unpublished, until 2114. In this short film, Margaret Atwood discusses her involvement in the project.
