Hernan Diaz on TRUST
\u201cAnd the title, of course, has this double meaning, the financial meaning of trust, and let's call it, emotional meaning of trust \u2026 To what extent can I trust this voice and the book, to a large extent is questioning the contracts we enter into as readers.\u201d Hernan Diaz follows up his acclaimed debut novel,\xa0In the Distance\xa0(a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), with\xa0Trust, a stunning book-about-a-book, an exploration of capital and greed and the making of myths. Hernan joins us on the show to talk about how the stories of Great Men influenced his latest, bringing women back into the story of American business and capital, authenticity, Mary Shelley\u2019s\xa0Frankenstein\xa0and other literary influences, why he writes, and much more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. And we end the segment with a TBR Topoff segment featuring book recommendations from Margie and Marc.
