www.theguardian.com/books/2018/aug/31/han-kang-bury-book-100-years-norwegian-forest-future-library
She joins a project to collect one unpublished work by a popular writer every year from 2014 to 2114. The manuscripts are stored at Oslo Public Library, but unavailable to readers, and will be published in 2114 in limited-edition anthologies using paper made from 1000 trees planted in 2014 for the purpose. Current contributors are:
2014. Margaret Atwood, Scribbler moon.
2015. David Mitchell (1), From me flows what you call time.
2016. Sjón, As my brow brushes on the tunics of angels or The drop tower, the roller coaster, the whirling cups and other instruments of worship from the post-industrial age.
2017. Elif Shafak, The last taboo.

>4 Cynfelyn: I just came across this thread a couple years later... looks like michaeljoyce doesn't have access to those books either, as they are tagged "to-read" with a release date of 2114. :) http://www.librarything.com/catalog/michaeljoyce&deepsearch=2114

An update.
2014. Margaret Atwood, Scribbler moon.
2015. David Mitchell (1), From me flows what you call time.
2016. Sjón, As my brow brushes on the tunics of angels, or, The drop tower, the roller coaster, the whirling cups and other instruments of worship from the post-industrial age.
2017. Elif Shafak, The last taboo.
2018. Han Kang, Dear son, my beloved.
2019. Karl Ove Knausgård.
2020. Ocean Vuong.
David Mitchell accidentally revealed one of the few details known about any of the books, that his book quotes the lyrics of "Here Comes the Sun", a song expected to enter the public domain in the late 21st century. And Tomas Tranströmer (1931-2015) and Umberto Eco (1932-2016) were both considered as potential contributors before their deaths. (Wikipedia).
Han Kang hands over book to remain unseen until 2114 (Guardian, 2019-05-28).
Karl Ove Knausgaard's latest work to remain unseen until 2114 (Guardian, 2019-10-20).
'You'll have to die to get these texts': Ocean Vuong’s next manuscript to be unveiled in 2114 (Guardian, 2020-08-19).
The latest news bulletin (2021-05-18) on the Library website is that Future Library 2020 and the handover of Karl Ove Knausgård's manuscript was postponed by Covid-19, and they hope this will happen during 2021, when the Silent Room will also hold an open day.
