Hernan Diaz Trust

普利策奖得主赫尔南·迪亚兹在这部小说中搭建了精妙的叙事套盒——以1920年代华尔街传奇为原型，先呈现一部虚构的金融大亨传记《Bonds》，再通过回忆录、日记和第三者叙述层层剥开真相。当读者以为抓住了核心时，第四部分的女性视角突然颠覆所有预设，这种俄罗斯套娃式的结构本身就是对"历史权威性"的绝妙隐喻。

书中那个操纵股市的金融天才，同时也在精心编排自己的人生剧本：他雇佣作家美化发家史，用慈善基金会重塑公众形象，甚至试图用金钱买断妻子的声音。迪亚兹尖锐地指出，美国镀金时代的财富神话从来不是自然生长的产物，而是精心设计的叙事工程——这一点在当今社交媒体时代显得更加刺骨的真实。

最令人战栗的转折藏在最后章节：当读者终于听到金融大亨妻子未被篡改的手稿，才发现那些看似疯狂的股市预言、那些被归功于丈夫的金融创新，实则源自这个"疯女人"的数学天赋。迪亚兹用优雅的笔触完成了对《阁楼上的疯女人》传统的当代续写，那些被墨水涂黑的日记页，成为整部小说最沉默的尖叫。

这部入围布克奖决选的作品，既是对美国梦的病理学解剖，也是给所有历史阅读者的警示录：我们以为的"事实"，可能只是赢家版本的童话。迪亚兹用这本伪装成传统家族史诗的小说，完成了一次关于记忆、性别与资本权力的优雅颠覆。

简介：An unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, 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 daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly boundless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

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 fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation.

At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
