All literature lovers

This novel, written by an Argentinian based in New York, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2023. Set in America in the turbulent 1920s and 1930s, Trust centers on Andrew Bevel, an American financer, and his attempts to "bend and align" reality to his purposes through the creation of a narrative that praises his achievements and justifies the controversial decisions he took in the run-up to the Wall Street Crash of 1929. As the novel unfolds, however, Bevel's account of events will be challenged by other voices that emerge to tell their own stories. Trust explores topics that are key to the postmodern condition: the slippery nature of truth, the idea of reality as a construct at the service of those in power, the fictionalization of the past, while also delving into metafictional concerns like the (un)reliability of narrators, the process of "laying bare" the mechanics of writing fiction, the ontological instability of the figure of the author, etc. In a nutshell, the novel poses a single, overarching question: to what extent can we trust the narratives that are placed before us?
