TORONTO - Canadian literature legend Margaret Atwood has submitted an unread, unpublished manuscript to a project that will keep the work under wraps for the next century.
The Toronto-based Man Booker Prize winner is the first author to hand over a piece to the Future Library in Oslo.
The international project will see one writer contribute a new, unread text to the collection every year for the next 100 years.
In 2114, 1,000 trees planted for the project just outside Oslo will be cut down to provide paper for the publication of the texts.
The manuscripts will be stored in a specially designed room in an Oslo public library.
