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 Between now and then, one writer every year will contribute a text, with the writings held in trust, unpublished, until 2114.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.
