Coming Up: Pulitzer Prizewinner Hernan Diaz

Join us for a talk about Diaz's novel TRUST, an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle

Hernan Diaz Monday, April 8, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. ET Carnegie Music Hall and online Sponsored by University of Pittsburgh David C. Frederick Honors College   PURCHASE IN-PERSON TICKETS PURCHASE AN ONLINE ACCESS PASS An unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perception, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts. "To me, one of the most fascinating formal problems in literature is point of view," Diaz says, "because taken to its ultimate limit, I think it's also an ethical problem, since it's related to power… How much about your characters do you know? How far into situations or people can you see? Is it right, just to solve a narrative problem or achieve an effect, to break the laws you had set for yourself?" His Pulitzer-winning Trust is comprised of four distinct sections with four points of view – playing with the trust between reader and narrator. Copies of Trust, along with other titles by Hernan Diaz, are available from White Whale Bookstore. We're delighted to welcome you back to a newly renovated Carnegie Music Hall for this event!
