Trust is a layered novel built from four interlocking texts: a 1930s bestseller about a Wall Street tycoon and his wife, a fragmentary manuscript that complicates that story, a memoir by the tycoon himself, and the recollections of a woman hired to ghostwrite his version of events. As the book moves through these documents, Diaz picks apart who gets to control the narrative of wealth, genius, and marriage in twentieth‑century America. The pleasure is in the structure as much as in the sentences, as each section reframes what came before.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it’s a rare literary puzzle that’s also emotionally and politically sharp, and the Pulitzer win has only made more readers curious. Trust is a strong pick for fans of metafiction, finance novels, and stories about power that understand how much of it lives on the page.
