From an award-winning chronicler of our nation’s history and its legends comes his much-anticipated novel about wealth and talent, trust and intimacy, truth and perception.
Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the brilliant daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth. But the secrets around their affluence and grandeur excites gossip. Rumors about Benjamin’s financial maneuvers and Helen’s reclusiveness start to spread—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. At what cost have they acquired their immense fortune?
This is the mystery at the center of a successful 1938 novel entitled Bonds, which all of New York seems to have read. But it isn’t the only version.
Hernan Diaz’s Trust brilliantly puts the story of these characters into conversation with other accounts—and in tension with the life and perspective of a young woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that becomes more exhilarating and profound with each new layer and revelation. Provocative and propulsive, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the reality-warping gravitational pull of money and how power often manipulates facts. An elegant, multifaceted epic that recovers the voices buried under the myths that justify our foundational inequality, Trust is a literary triumph with a beating heart and urgent stakes.

For about a decade now I have witnessed a woeful decline not only in the business of our country but also in the spirit of its people.Where perseverance and ingenuity once dwelled,apathy and despair now loiter. (查看原文)
A book of four books, a time of turbulence, a world to be jarred between two wars: one bloody blow had already sunk, another looming. But this is a different battlefield, where the Great Ship of finance rocked, and then wrecked, made mountains of money for ...

最重要的情节花了最少的功夫。形式限制了展开？数学天才太太做空了那一年的市场带来了股灾，是写着写着突然想到的？普利策是不是正经的文学奖项啊？怎么这么头重脚轻，中间生插一段意大利左翼激进爸爸干什么呀？

看了前两个部分的开头后放弃了。结构巧妙但内容空洞的书，从书架上掉下来就跟花瓶一样容易碎
