[Mitworld] New: Margaret Atwood and Riccardo Giacconi

[MIT.WORLD]

Hello Friends of MIT World

Go to http://mitworld.mit.edu to see the newest additions to the MIT World.


The MIT Office of the Arts presents

Margaret Atwood

"Oryx and Crake Revealed"

This lively talk by Margaret Atwood is by far one of the funnier 
events on MIT World.  She reads from her most recent novel, Oryx and 
Crake, and also tells a long and winding and amusing story about her 
early efforts to get published.
