Trust by Hernan Diaz


I just finished reading Trust, the 2022 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction by Hernan Diaz. The novel begins in New York City in 1927 and ends in 1938, chronicling the collective experience of the stock-market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. The book explores themes such as class, power, and money, and how they can be used to control the truth, thereby controlling the narrative. Here is an excellent review of the book by The Atlantic.
