Trust

What about you? Did you have a favorite?

So I really enjoyed In the Distance by Hernan Diaz, who wrote Trust, the Pulitzer Prize winning book Trust.

This was his actually debut novel.

And this is about a young Swedish boy who emigrates to the United States in the 1800s.

The same complexity as Trust? It's not like boxes within boxes the way Trust is, but this is, I would say, really like a great American novel in terms of it's a survival mission and a lot about loneliness and grit and what it means to be American.

And then I also really enjoyed Fellowship Point.

Yes, by Alice Elliot Dark.

Really good so far.

The author won the Pulitzer Prize for a book, Trust, a couple years ago.

I find I'm liking fiction more and more given that all I do is read AI-generated text all day.

And so maybe I'll find my way to pure poetry soon, but I'm enjoying that.

yeah it was also reminding me too how sometimes people can come up with like curses or all kinds of things to just not want to take accountability for like their own decisions and their own actions was that something that was kind of like running through your mind as well

yes i what was i was reading something recently Oh, Trust, the book Trust by Hernández.

And I think there's a line in it where he's saying, like, when stuff is going well, people are quick to give themselves credit.

And then

We're going to be spending the month reading the latest novel from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hernán Díaz, Ply.

Hernán's latest novel, Trust, was set in the New York of the past.

His new book is set in New York of the future.

The story follows a young orphaned woman who becomes an electricity thief.

The bestselling author, Hernan Diaz, has a unique claim to fame.

His 2022 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Trust, was a catalyst for the romance between music artist and book podcaster Dua Lipa and her now husband, the star of the Fantastic Beasts film series, Callum Turner, when they discovered they were both devouring it at the same time.

trust centres and the power and greed of the early part of the 20th century, his new novel, Ply, has moved several centuries ahead and imagines a ruined and lawless American city set on two sides of a broad, deep river where power and greed still hold sway.

A lethal private contractor controls the ironically named public safety.

That was very real and I want to honour that, of course.

But I am also saying that it was in these contexts that some of the greatest art of the last century was made.

Just before we finish, I'm going to take you back in time to your novel Trust.

That was partly responsible for Dua Lipa and Callum Turner getting together.

First, we have Ply by Hernan Diaz, the genre's literary fiction.

On the heels of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Trust, Hernan Diaz plunges into the ruins of the future with a plucky Dinkensian orphan.

Trained by her late mother to fix anything mechanical, the orphan evolves into a genius pincher, A thief of a future century's most essential commodity, electricity.

Can she help a mysterious scientist open a portal to other realities? The pliability of Diaz's imagination is a marvel.

Hernan Diaz's latest novel, Ply, has themes of power and greed, much like his twenty twenty-two novel, Trust, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Trust was set in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

This novel is set in the future, where climate change has dramatically altered the world.

The small cluster of islands to the north and the large ones due south appear to hover, mute and blind above the horizon.

Hmm.

Who am I and how can I hope to ever relate to you? And, and what is this space between us, this physical space between us that supposedly separates us but actually might conjoin us? So yes, it's a, it's a novel about frailty, about resilience, about trust, about deep forms of betrayal as well, about found family, and ultimately about, about love.

Now, your last book, Trust, was set in the past.

The genre is literary fiction.

On the heels of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Trust, Hernan Diaz plunges into the ruins of the future with a plucky Dickensian orphan.
