Foiled By Pen, Atwood Tries Again

The LongPen, intended to allow writers to sign books from wherever they happen to be, “famously flubbed at its much-anticipated international debut in March at the London Book Fair.” But Margaret Atwood, author and LongPen funder, intends to give it another shot on Sunday at a Toronto book fair. Not that she will be in Toronto, of course. She’ll sign books for Canadian fairgoers from Edinburgh.
