What occurs most strongly in Diaz’s story is the idea that an individual has of a nation, of belonging, and the wish to transform oneself with it. The plot itself shows the great lengths that fiction can take to tell the story of one man and a country ravaged by war, capitalism and the “bonds” of kinship. Andrew is disappointed at how he and his wife Mildred are portrayed in the “novel” and he wants Ida’s help to correct it. It is in the memoir of Ida Partenza, Andrew Bevel’s private secretary, that Diaz’s Trust comes together. When this section too keeps the reader confused about what exactly is going on, Diaz brings in the third and longest section.

But the main concern of Trust is the nature of retrospective storytelling and the power of money to warp truth.ĭuring the reading, other novels, never identifying themselves, seemed to hover behind the words I read. The author segues smoothly into the new voice and masterfully depicts the world of high finance circa 1930, and the novel can also be read as a barbed indictment of financial engineering. A final set of diary entries upends all the other accounts. A second short tale seems closer to the subject, then we’re placed in the reflections of a female writer who had begun to ghost write an official version. The first, an unauthorized biography, relates how the mastermind builds his fortune and then blossoms during the 1929 Crash, possibly contributing to the crash. “ Trust” presents four aspects of the aloof monetary titan’s biography.
