Hernan Diaz

Trust (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

Trust by Hernán Díaz is a structurally daring, Pulitzer Prize–winning novel composed of four interlocking fictional texts that circle a secretive Wall Street financier and his wife, interrogating how wealth, power, and narrative itself can be weaponized to erase inconvenient truths. Named a New York Times bestseller, longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize, and named one of The New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, it stands as one of the most decorated American novels of its era — demanding, rewarding, and unlike almost anything else in contemporary fiction.
