  Margaret Atwood on her new book, The Tent 06 Mar 2006  
Margaret Atwood is one of the world's most celebrated authors. Her dystopian, futuristic novel The Handmaid's Tale in which a totalitarian theocracy forces fertile women to produce babies for elite barren couples has remained an influential work. It was voted one of the top five novels that have changed the way we see women by the Woman's Hour listeners. 

Margaret Atwood joins Jenni to talk about her latest book The Tent, a collection of short stories, and explains why she thinks her new robot 'The LongPen' will revolutionize book signings in the future. 
 
The Tent is published by Bloomsbury ISBN: 0 7475 8225 4
