MacKenzie Bezos read from her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, at the Narrative Night in Seattle in November 2006. When asked by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer what inspired the novel, she said, “I started with Luther’s character. He intrigued me because of the idea of emotional secrecy. I have always been interested in the real-life small things that people withhold from each other with best of intentions. They can have such huge effects on marriages and intimacy.”
