Finished reading Trust by Hernan Diaz.

Have not read a more fascinating book in quite a while. But my taste in literature is uncommon, and I'm known for selecting books that make me think over entertainment alone. It's not a book for everyone.

Still thinking about Trust today: Its several forms and voices, its surfaces, its depths, its philosophical juxtapositions, its psychologies, and the surprising achievement of such a work.

Read my DNF review of Hernan Diaz's "Trust," in which I attempt to take on this year's highly popular Pulitzer winner about the exploits of a Gilded Age investment tycoon, but realize quickly that this is one of those 21st-century books that takes what should be a sophisticated, nuanced, complex topic and boils it down to the idiot-friendly message "RICH PEOPLE BAD!!!!" https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5556277845

From #HernanDiaz's Trust, winner of the Kirkus Prize for Fiction:
"Most of us prefer to believe we are the active subjects of our victories but only the passive objects of our defeats."
