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 brilliant daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth. But the secrets around their affluence and grandeur excites gossip. Rumors about Benjamin's financial maneuvers and Helen's reclusiveness start to spread-all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. At what cost have they acquired their immense fortune?
This is the mystery at the center of a successful 1938 novel entitled Bonds, which all of New York seems to have read. But it isn't the only version.
Hernan Diaz's Trust brilliantly puts the story of these characters into conversation with other accounts-and in tension with the life and perspective of a young woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that becomes more exhilarating and profound with each new layer and revelation. Provocative and propulsive, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the reality-warping gravitational pull of money and how power often manipulates facts. An elegant, multifaceted epic that recovers the voices buried under the myths that justify our foundational inequality, Trust is a literary triumph with a beating heart and urgent stakes.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM Diaz's first novel In The Distance (Coffee House 2017) was revered by reviewers and prize judges ("an uncanny achievement" - NYT ), and went on to be named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Pen/Faulkner Award. Trust brings his blistering talent and vision to a story that is immensely readable and broadly appealing.
HIGH PROFILE ACQUISITION: Since Diaz's debut, the literary world has been urgently anticipating his next work. We acquired it in a large, fiercely competitive auction. Since then, rights have been sold in no less than 20 countries.
CROSS-READERSHIP APPEAL: Thisis a novel that succeeds - and can be read-on a number of levels. It's elegant historical fiction a la Amor Towles. But it also has layers of profundity and literary daring. It is a book to be read for entertainment, but it also has something important to say about society, history, and literature.
