Description
**WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION ONE OF *THE NEW YORK TIMES* ’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY A *NEW YORK TIMES* BESTSELLER ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022 LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BOOKER PRIZE “Buzzy and enthralling . . . A glorious novel about empires and erasures, husbands and wives, staggering fortunes and unspeakable misery . . . Fun as hell to read.” — *Oprah Daily* A genre-bending, time-skipping story about New York City’s elite in the roaring ’20s and Great Depression. — *Vanity Fair* “A riveting story of class, capitalism, and greed.” — *Esquire* Exhilarating.” — *New York Times* ** Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of *Bonds* , a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit. Hernan Diaz’s *TRUST* elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, *TRUST* engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
