Margaret Atwood - event with Alice Munro
An extraordinary event from the 2007 Book Festival - an interview with two legendary, world-leading figures of Canadian writing, one on either side of the Atlantic. Margaret Atwood in Edinburgh interviews and chats to the great Alice Munro in Canada, arguably the finest living story writer. During the event she also signs books using Atwood's remarkable invention the LongPen, despite being several thousand miles away. Breathtaking technology, breathtaking literature.
