內容簡介

內容簡介 金權、階級和親密關係，華爾街的大亨遊戲2022布克獎初選入圍取材自一九二九年華爾街股市崩盤歷史結合小說、傳記、日記等文體，層層堆疊出廿世紀初葉資本主義肆虐的冷酷異境與投資客的無情爭議作家凡納的暢銷小說惹惱了金融梟雄貝渥，小說顯然影射貝渥，且將其亡妻麥芮形容為瘋婦；貝渥決意撰寫回憶錄反擊，寫手艾達昧著良心共謀打擊凡納，塑造聖潔的麥芮形象；而麥芮的日記則又提供了另一種觀點⋯"A buzzy and enthralling tour de force…A glorious novel about empires and erasures, husbands and wives, staggering fortunes and unspeakable misery…Fun as hell to read.” --Oprah Daily "A genre-bending, time-skipping story about New York City’s elite in the roaring ’20s and Great Depression. "-- Vanity Fair"A riveting story of class, capitalism, and greed.” —Esquire "Exhilarating.” —New York TimesAn unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perceptionEven through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.Hernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, 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."Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Vulture, Oprah Daily, AV Club, LitHub, Goodreads and more and a Best Book of the Year by Reader’s Digest and Vogue An unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perception Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask.
