Trust is a novel about storytelling, power, and the versions of truth that money can buy. Hernan Diaz constructs his narrative through four distinct texts, each offering a different account of a legendary Wall Street tycoon and his wife in 1920s and 1930s New York. The first section reads as a novel within the novel, depicting a ruthless financier whose wife descends into madness. Subsequent sections reveal this as a fiction written by a character in the 'real' story, complicate the portrayal of both husband and wife, and ultimately expose how the powerful man manipulated narratives to control his own legacy. Diaz, whose first novel In the Distance was a Pulitzer finalist, creates a literary puzzle that is also an investigation of capitalism, gender, and the relationship between wealth and truth. Each section requires readers to reassess what they previously believed, as perspectives shift and the 'real' story proves elusive. The novel rewards readers who enjoy metafiction and narrative games while also working as social history of Gilded Age New York. For those interested in how stories shape our understanding of history and power, Trust offers a formally innovative and intellectually engaging experience.
