Trust
Hernan Diaz
Join the New York Tri-State Network for our December book club! After several months of non-fiction and memoir, our book club returns to fiction with a discussion of "Trust" by Hernan Diaz.
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.
"Trust" is one of the New York Times' "100 Best Books of the 21st Century," specifically recommended for book clubs. Join the discussion on Zoom. Newcomers are always welcome!
