Book Price $0 : Hernan Diaz's novel 'Trust' is a masterfully crafted literary work that explores themes of wealth, power, and the elusive nature of truth in 20th-century America. Centered around the enigmatic character of Andrew Bevel, a wealthy financier, the narrative delves deeply into his rise and the illusions that shape his legacy. The novel employs a multifaceted narrative structure, incorporating varying perspectives and narrative forms which challenge the reader’s perception of reality and historical authenticity. These techniques act almost like a 'solution manual' to deciphering truth amid layers of storytelling and subjective memory. 'Trust' is segmented innovatively, with a 'table of content' that guides readers through its intertwined stories, including testimonies, memoirs, and a fictionalized biography, thereby creating a complex tapestry of narrative methodologies. The key characters, apart from Andrew Bevel, include his wife Mildred and Harriet Lauder, whose perspectives reveal contrasting dimensions of trust, identity, and agency. Diaz’s use of metafiction highlights how narratives are constructed and how history can be manipulated, making the novel a poignant commentary on capitalism and historical record-keeping. The book's reception has been overwhelmingly positive, praised for its intricate plot, rich characterization, and profound themes—serving as an 'Answer Key' for readers interested in dissecting literary form and the intertwining of fact and fiction. The novel is celebrated for its innovative use of narrative reliability concepts and its critique of economic myths, solidifying Hernan Diaz's position as a contemporary literary force. This book’s cheap format and clear explanations make it a cost-effective aid for mastering key concepts.

Found the plot intriguing but pacing was a bit off.

This book really delves into the idea of trust with both depth and clarity. Although some parts felt a bit too drawn out for my taste, it overall provides a very insightful look at how trust impacts our lives. Well-packaged and arrived quickly.
