Trust Book Review Nytimes 2025 Review Trust. Wallace writes about hernan diaz’s novel “trust,” which won the pulitzer prize for fiction, and about the literature of finance. Hernan diaz’s trust elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling.

Diaz trains his eye on the wealthy. Trust’s contours will be familiar to readers of detective fiction, in which layers of deceit are peeled away before the true state of affairs is revealed.
