Trust (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

Description

Hernan Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Trust is a dazzling, multi-layered exploration of money, ambition, and the slippery nature of truth. At its heart is the enigmatic figure of a Wall Street magnate whose extraordinary fortune and influence shape an era. But the story of his rise—and the woman who stands beside him—is told in competing accounts: a novel within the novel, a memoir, personal papers, and a final, hidden testimony.

As these narratives overlap and contradict one another, the reader is drawn into a brilliant literary game where fact and fiction blur. Each version reveals new facets of greed, love, betrayal, and the quiet power of those history tries to silence.

Elegant, provocative, and masterfully constructed, Trust challenges our understanding of whose stories endure and who gets to define the truth. It is a breathtaking examination of wealth’s corrosive influence and the hidden forces that shape the stories we tell about power and legacy.
