Margaret Atwood is revolutionizing the traditional book tour with the release of her latest novel:

"It's a chance to break free from the traditional structure of a book tour," Atwood said in a statement. "I felt this particular novel deserved a more complex presentation. It's also a great chance to work with other creative minds and see their interpretation of the story come to light."

The hour-long performance will feature 14 hymns – one for each chapter – which Atwood wrote, to the music of L.A.-based composer Orville Stoeber.
A three-person cast will perform along with a choir, all of whom will be local talent. Atwood has helped to design an interactive website for the book tour, including a blog and a Twitter feed.

I dunno. To me, listening to an author doing a charmingly nervous reading and then answering questions (for free!) sounds infinitely more pleasing than paying to suffer through an hour of hymn-singing vaguely related to a book.

While I'm ranting, Margaret Atwood please stop pretending that you aren't a science fiction writer!
