In a blog post, Scott said she will serially release an 80,000-word novel titled 'Last Days in Two Nations (A History in Eighteen Minds)' throughout August. She published the title page, table of contents, character list and epigraphs over the weekend, revealing little else about the plot. Scott studied creative writing at Princeton under Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, who supervised her thesis and later praised her as one of her best students. Her debut novel won an American Book Award. Separately, Scott has given away more than $26 billion over seven years to over 2,500 organizations. Her current net worth is $33.8 billion from a 4% Amazon stake after her 2019 divorce. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Amazon, Mackenzie Scott, novel, philanthropy, Toni Morrison Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mackenzie-scott-returns-to-writing-with-80000-word-novel/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
