Published: Dec. 27, 2022, 9 a.m.

Nerdette Book Club\u2019s December selection, Hernan Diaz\u2019s critically-acclaimed \u2018Trust,\u2019 is a novel that invites readers to question the very act of reading.\n\nThe historical novel is actually four different pieces of writing \u2014 a novella, an unfinished autobiography, a memoir and an excerpt from a personal diary. Each section changes the meaning of the preceding piece, creating what critic Hillary Kelly called a \u201cpuzzle box\u201d in her review for LA Times.\n\nKelly joined Lupita Aquino, who you can find on Instagram as @LupitaReads, to unpack the elements of this multi-layered story.
