 ;s new book\, <em>Trust</em>\, is set during the roar of the 1920s around 
 the Wall Street tycoon Benjamin Rask and his wife\, Helen. Together\, they
  have risen to the top of the world of seemingly endless wealth&ndash\;all
  as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost h
 ave they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center
  of <span style="text-decoration: underline\;">Bonds</span>\, a successful
  1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other v
 ersions of this tale of privilege and deceit.</p>\n<p><em>Trust</em> elega
 ntly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another&md
 ash\;and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentanglin
 g fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and b
 ecomes more exhilarating with each new revelation.</p>\n<p>Hernan Diaz&nbs

 ta Hisp&aacute\;nica Moderna</em> at Columbia University. He is the author
