CLOSE-UP: HERNAN DIAZ

The Pulitzerprize-winning novel Trust by Hernan Diaz is gaining traction worldwide. Now you can experience him in Lillehammer.
Hernan Diaz was born in Argentina, and grew up in Sweden, but has spent most of his life in the United States. And it is precisely American history that is the starting point for Trust; The stock market crash of 1929, what led up to it and all that it brought with it. But just as much, Trust is a novel about power and money and a clever page-turner that takes the reader on a journey through the 20th century, in an increasingly obsessive attempt to separate lies from facts.
Diaz was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner Award for his debut novel In the Distance (2017) and in 2022 he was nominated for the Man Booker Prize for Trust. Moderator: Maria Reinertsen
