<p><font size="1">The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of
Torture, based in Camden, is offering the chance for people to bid
for immortality by becoming a character in a novel by one of eight
world-class authors, three of them Booker Prize winners. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">This year's line up features Margaret Atwood, Pat
Barker, Ken Follett, Robert Harris, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, Terry
Pratchett and Zadie Smith who have all agreed to name a character
in their forthcoming books after those prepared to pay the most
for the privilege. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Atwood won the Booker Prize in 2000 with her novel
The Blind Assassin, and is joined by other Booker Prize winners
Barker (The Ghost Road) and McEwan (Amsterdam). Lodge has been listed
twice for the prize and his comic novels regularly inhabit the British
bestseller list. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Smith is one of the hottest new writers in Britain
today with her novel White Teeth winning the Whitbread First Novel
Award. Pratchett, with over ten-and-a-half million sales, was Britain's
best-selling living fiction author during much of the 1990's, with
his fantasy books winning him a world-wide following. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Harris has sold more than six million copies of
his novels Enigma and Fatherland which have been translated into
30 languages, while Follett is the author of eight bestselling thrillers
including Eye of the Needle and Pillars of the Earth - which remained
on the German bestseller list for a staggering six years. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">This is the second Immortality Auction run by the
Medical Foundation. Last year it raised nearly �25,000 when authors
Sebastian Faulks, Nick Hornby, Kathy Lette, Louis de Berni�res,
Hanif Kureshi and Jim Crace sold the names of characters in books
they hadn't yet written.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"> "These are certainly writers with the right stuff,"
says John Baguley, the Medical Foundation's fundraising director.
"If it is fame people are after we believe the Immortality Auction
will deliver it in spades." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of
Torture provides care and rehabilitation for individuals and their
families who have been subjected to torture and other forms of organised
violence. Founded in 1985, it is an independent charity and the
only organisation of its kind in the United Kingdom and helps more
than 5,000 victims of torture and organised violence a year. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Final bidding will take place at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly,
London W1, on 16th October 2001. Doors open at 6.30pm for 7pm start,
with Terry Pratchett and a number of other authors hoping to make
a special guest appearance. All proceeds go to supporting the vital
work of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">To make a sealed bid, enquire about the auction,
or find out about making a telephone bid on the night, email John
Baguley at<b> <a href="mailto:john@torturecare.org.uk" target="_blank">john@torturecare.org.uk.</a></b></font></p>
