Trust

Hernan Diaz

The same fortune told four times, each version quietly correcting who was written out of the last.

Hernan Diaz tells one story of a 1920s New York financier four times, as a novel, an unfinished memoir, a ghostwriter’s account and a diary, each version quietly correcting the last. The Pulitzer-winning result is about who gets to author a life, and the wife the earlier versions wrote out of it.

My March Monthly Read is Trust by Hernan Diaz. This book made my head spin! Set in New York City in the 1920s and ’ 30s, the story of a Manhattan financier and his high society wife is told through four ‘books’ – a novel, a manuscript, a memoir and a journal.
