Author Valeria Luiselli’s next manuscript will remain a secret – sealed, unpublished and unread – until the year 2114.
The Mexican author, whose books include The Story of My Teeth and Lost Children Archive, has been selected as the 10th author to contribute to the Future Library, a project run by artist Katie Paterson which invites acclaimed writers to submit new work to be stored away for decades.
Margaret Atwood, Ocean Vuong and Tsitsi Dangarembga are among the authors who have contributed to the project so far. All the works will be published in an anthology in 2114, 100 years after the project began in 2014.
