MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is returning to writing after a 13-year hiatus. According to a report on Forbes, she will release an 80,000-word novel titled 'Last Days in Two Nations (A History in Eighteen Minds)' throughout August. Scott, who studied creative writing at Princeton University under Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, announced her return to fiction writing on her blog, providing a title page, table of contents, character list, and epigraphs.
Morrison, who supervised Scott's thesis, praised her as one of her best students and helped her secure a literary agent. Scott's debut novel, "The Testing of Luther Albright," was published in 2005 and received critical acclaim. Her second novel, "Traps," followed in 2013. Since then, Scott has largely stayed out of the public eye.
She is a billionaire philanthropist who has given away over $26 billion to various organizations, including historically Black colleges and environmental groups. Her current net worth is $33.8 billion. Recently, Scott donated $20 million to Active Minds, the largest gift in the organization's history.
