The sound of novels

I absolutely love when one form of art inspires others. I find it such a cool concept. For example of my favorite band is Meg and Dia and a large number of their songs were inspired by books. I’ve read so many interviews of them where they say they were finishing a book, cry, completely overcome with emotions so they poured them into a song.
The article I found today seems to be pushing the idea of something being inspired by something else even further. Margaret Atwood not only is touring for her new book but has made an hour long play to go with it that will also include music. It sounds so different and interesting.
It looks like it is coming to Seattle so I might consider going if work lets me. It is only a discussing and signing in Seattle though which is sad. I would rather see the whole production. It would be cool to hear Atwood talk though.
What do you think about Atwoods book tour?
