Money, power, class, marital and filial relations, the roles played by trust and betrayal in human affairs-Diaz’s development of his chosen themes is deeply insightful.
“Though set in a historical New York, Trust speaks to matters of the most urgent significance to the present day. This novel is very classical and very original: Balzac would be proud, but so would Borges.”- Rachel Kushner Its plotlines are as etched and surreal as Art Deco geometry, while inside that architecture are people who feel appallingly real. His novel Trust glints with wonder and knowledge and mystery. “Hernan Diaz understands, and deeply, how strange money is, as an omnipotent and imaginary substance that controls our lives. What a radiant, profound and moving novel.” Trust builds its world and characters with subtle aplomb.

Trust is a true literary delight.” - The Kirkus Prizeīest novel & Best overall book of 2022 Lit Hub: a complex story of power, love, and the nature of truth.
