Author Talk: Hernan Diaz on Trust
Join us at the Brooklyn Heights Library to hear Hernan Diaz read from and discuss his new novel Trust. Books will be available for purchase from Cafe Con Libros.
Set in the roaring 1920s of new money, aristocrats, and Wall Street Tycoons, Trust tells the multilayered and ever-shifting story of Benjamin and Helen Rask. At once an immersive tale and a brilliant literary puzzle, Diaz 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.
Hernan Diaz’s first novel, In the Distance, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. He has also written a book of essays, and his work has appeared in The Paris Review, Granta, Playboy, The Yale Review, McSweeney's, and elsewhere. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Award, the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, and a fellowship from the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers.
