Join us for a discussion of Hernan Diaz's 2022 novel, Trust. Register To Attend.
Trust
In this literary puzzle, the story of Benjamin and Helen Rask gets retold from multiple perspectives. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune?
Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
