TRUST is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Hernan Diaz that Vanity Fair describes as “a genre-bending, time-skipping story about New York City’s elite of the roaring ’20s.” The novel is both an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, engaging 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.” Spanning over a century, TRUST puts different narratives into conversation with each other, examining a tale of privilege and deceit.
The first book by the author of TRUST, In the Distance defies conventions of historical fiction and genre. Diaz’s novel follows a young, penniless Swedish immigrant as he travels east from California in search of his brother. On the road, “he meets naturalists, criminals, religious fanatics, swindlers, and lawmen, and his exploits turn him into a legend.”

Breitwieser carried out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years, stealing more than three hundred objects.” What made Breitwieser even more unique was that he never stole for money, instead collecting his treasures simply to admire them.
