Hernan Diaz: Trust (2022, Penguin Publishing Group)

Elegant and thoughtful

Superbly written (well, duh, Pulitzer winner and all), this is a story with multiple layers and voices, each different, each with a different aim, until the truth unfolds. It's a rare treat to read a book so well written, so thoughtfully constructed, and where nothing is evident or predictable. It is also a reflection on the stories we tell (ourselves and others) and how extreme wealth gives the power to shape them.
