Trust

An inventive and multilayered novel, Trust explores the illusion of wealth, power, and truth in 20th-century America. At its heart is the enigmatic financier Andrew Bevel and the women around him—his ghostwriter, his wife, and a novelist whose fictionalized version of his life threatens to upend his legacy. Told through a series of nested narratives, Diaz masterfully peels back layers of storytelling to reveal how history is constructed and who controls the narrative. A dazzling meditation on capitalism, authorship, and perception, Trust is as intellectually engaging as it is emotionally resonant.
